Guided Tour of Castello Sforzesco

At the indicated time, we'll meet at the Filarete Tower and then head towards the Castello Sforzesco. We'll begin by admiring this 14th-century fort from the outside. It later became a ducal palace before finally being converted by the Sforza family into one of Italy’s most impressive forts.

Then we'll head into the castle to learn about the milestones that punctuate its history, such as the Milanese dispute over the castle, Napoleon’s order to demolish it, and the role it played during World War II.

We'll also follow the footprints left throughout the Castle by artists of great standing, such as Leonardo Da Vinci and Bramante. An example of that is the Rondanini Pietà, the unfinished, last work of Michelangelo which is sure to amaze!

Finally, we'll end this guided tour in the Castello Sforzesco area after a 1.5-hour tour of the different halls and rooms in this Milanese building.
