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.
