About Sforza Castle

Castello Sforzesco, one of Europe's largest fortresses, has transformed over the centuries from a defensive stronghold and ducal residence to a cultural hub in Milan. Its expansive grounds feature grand courtyards, towering walls, and historic towers, reflecting its medieval origins dating back to the 14th century. Renowned artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo left their mark here, with treasures like da Vinci's Sala delle Asse frescoes and Michelangelo's Pietà Rondanini. Today, the castle houses Milano's Municipal Museums, showcasing a rich tapestry of art, history, and ancient artifacts from across the ages.

Why visit Sforza Castle?

Historical significance

It's a 15th-century fortress with a rich history, once home to Milanese dukes and visited by prominent historical figures like Leonardo da Vinci, who worked on its decoration.

Plan your visit

Torre del Filarete

This is the iconic, towering central gatehouse that faces Piazza Castello and the fountain; it is the grand "front door" of the castle.

Cadorna gate

Located on the western side of the castle near Piazza Cadorna, this entrance is much more understated and sits closer to the castle’s moats. It is the "strategic" entrance for art lovers because it provides the fastest, most direct access to the Pietà Rondanini Museum and Sempione Park.

Buying tickets online was easy and affordable, although I think it would be better if you didn’t have to download two apps just to visit a single attraction. It would have been most convenient if the ticket had worked via the QR code in the email, and the audio guide had also worked by scanning QR codes in the rooms (at times, it wasn’t clear which one to listen to). Additionally, there was no information anywhere about the need to activate the ticket and pick up a paper ticket at a location outside the venue.
