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.

Great castle with many museums. You can spend whole day there. Of course, the Michaelangelo work is a must. It'll be better if the link to the App for the audio guide was sent in advance as I was not able to download it at the castle.

Easy to collect tickets at Sforzesco castle. Just make sure to follow instructions. At Necchi Villa, I showed the Headout app ticket to the entry and there was no issue. At the front door of the actual house, they had no idea about Headout but I explained the entrance had no issues with it and it was fine.

Everything worked very well! All the Qr codes were scanned without any problems and we were able to start the tour. No queuing! However, it is advisable to plan a few days in advance for the tours you want to do, as unfortunately everything is booked up spontaneously. Including the metro was ideal and worked really well. We were very satisfied!
