An unmistakeable landmark of Milan, the Castello Sforzesco is not only a monument of medieval Milan, but also houses a collection of art.
The Castello Sforzesco is a real castle right in downtown Milan. Walking distance from sights like the Cathedral, this castle has all the characteristics of a real castle. There are towers, drawing bridges, moats, and even treasures inside. The castle was first built in the 14th century, and it was destructed several times since, by both invaders and the Milanese themselves. In 1450, Francesco Sforza became duke of Milan, he rebuilt the castle and saved it, and it took his name. It was rebuilt after every destruction ever since, sometimes by foreign rulers. Napoleon was among the rulers who conquered the castle. The last great renovation was at the turn of the 20th century, when architect Luca Beltrami restored the castle to its former glory.
