Introduction

Sforza Castle is a grand, imposing medieval castle in Milan. This former ducal fortress is now a museum complex with art treasures, including Michelangelo's last work, a profound sight in Milan. Sforza Castle stands in central Milan, a grand, imposing medieval castle and important landmark. Originally built by the Visconti family, later rebuilt and expanded by the Sforza dukes into their grand residence and fortress, it has thick red-brick walls, tall towers (especially the graceful clock tower at the main gate) and broad courtyards, majestic, telling Milan's glory. (Leonardo da Vinci and Bramante once served and decorated it.) Now it is a cultural complex of museums: art, sculpture, paintings, furniture, instruments, ancient Egypt and more. Most precious is Michelangelo's last work, the unfinished Rondanini Pietà, deeply moving. Behind the castle stretches Milan's largest park, Sempione, good for a stroll. Visiting Milan and admiring the imposing Sforza Castle to see Michelangelo's last work is a profound sight.
