Standing as one of the most popular monuments in Milan, the majestic Sforza Castle welcomes all to spend a day at its royal grounds. Built in the 15th century by Francesco Sforza, Duke of Milan, the castle that was once a Visconti Fortressis now a beautiful castle, impressing and inspiring all those who visit with its simplistic yet imperial architecture, rumoured to have been designed by renowned artists like Leonardo Da Vinci.
