Visit Sforza Castle, one of the iconic monuments in Milan. On the guided tour, you'll discover the history of the building and its various museums.

Guided Tour of Castello Sforzesco

At the designated time, we'll meet at the Filarete Tower and proceed towards the Castello Sforzesco. The tour begins with an exterior view of this 14th-century fort, which evolved into a ducal palace and ultimately became a fort under the Sforza family.

We will enter the castle to explore key historical milestones, including the Milanese dispute over the castle, Napoleon’s demolition order, and its role during World War II.

We will also trace the contributions of renowned artists, including Leonardo Da Vinci and Bramante. Notably, we will view the Rondanini Pietà, Michelangelo's unfinished last work.

This guided tour will conclude in the Castello Sforzesco area after a 1.5-hour exploration of various halls and rooms within the building.
