Sforza Castle
Castello Sforzesco
About this place
Even though this palace mostly serves as a museum it used to be the homo of the Milan dukes. The original building was first completed by Galeazzo il Visonti in the second half of the 14th century. It was later altered by his successors. They converted the fortress into a palace which was then used as a residence.
After the death of the owners who left no heir the Milanese people raised the castle which is to day a large edifice characterized by three large courtyards around which one can see imposing towers.
Today many of the castle rooms serve as museum halls. One can see here a variety of museum exhibition categories. From furniture, archeological exponents, Egyptian artifacts and some unfinished Michelangelo´s works.
The palace is really amazing even without the museum exhibits but the museum gives another powerful reason to visit this particular palace.
