About Castello Sforzesco

Castello Sforzesco, one of the largest in Europe, dates back to 1358 - 1368 and was used mainly as a military defensive complex by Galeazzo II Visconti, Duke of Milano.

Throughout history, this imposing complex has played many roles, even Leonardo da Vinci worked here, under the patronage of Ludovico il Moro, at the end of the fifteenth century. Today, the building hosts Milano’s Municipal museums and other cultural institutions, but the castle grounds are fascinating in themselves, with large courtyards, massive walls, moat, towers (entrance is free excluding the museums), crenulated battlements and the green expanse of Parco Sempione.
