About

Castillo del siglo XV que ahora alberga varios museos y colecciones de arte.

Castello Sforzesco, also known as Sforza Castle, is a 15th-century castle in the centre of Milan, Lombardy. It stands on Piazza Castello, in the 20121 postcode area, and its red-brick walls and towers make it one of the city's best-known landmarks.

Today the castle houses several museums and art collections. A visit suits anyone interested in art and the history of Milan, and it can be combined with a stroll through the surrounding streets and squares of the city centre.

What to expect

  • Museums and collections: the castle is home to several museums and art collections, spread across its rooms and courtyards.
  • Setting: the building sits on a large open square, so the approach itself is part of the visit.
  • Central location: it is in Milan's historic core, within easy reach of other sights and of the city's public transport.

Opening times, ticket prices and the exact collections on display can change, so it is worth checking them before you set out. You can reach the castle by telephone on +39 02 88463700. Allow time to walk around the grounds and the square as well as the museums inside.
