More information

Milan, world-famous for fashion and design, also hides historical gems well worth discovering. One of its most iconic landmarks is the Sforza Castle — a stunning Renaissance fortress that brings together centuries of history, art, and architecture.

A bit of history

Built in the 15th century by Francesco Sforza over the remains of a medieval fortress, Sforza Castle once served as a ducal residence and played a key defensive role in Milan’s past. Over time, it evolved into a major cultural hub — which explains its great historical and artistic significance today.

What to see inside the fortress

The interior of Sforza Castle is home to several museums and permanent collections, including:

  • Museum of Ancient Art

  • Sforza Castle Art Gallery

  • Egyptian Museum

  • Museum of Musical Instruments

  • Museum of Prehistory

Its collections include masterpieces by legendary artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo.

How to visit Sforza Castle

Entrance to the main courtyard is free of charge. However, to explore the interior rooms and museums, you'll need a ticket. It’s recommended to book your Sforza Castle entry online to skip the line. And to dive deeper into its rich past, there’s no better way than joining a guided tour with Civitatis.
