Originally built in the 14th century by Galeazzo II Visconti, the structure was expanded and fortified by Francesco Sforza in the 15th century, after he became Duke of Milan. The castle was not only a defensive fortress but also a symbol of the Sforza family’s power and influence over the city.\n\nAs you approach the castle, its imposing brick walls, large central tower, and wide moat give you a sense of its medieval origins. The castle was extensively renovated in the 19th century, under the direction of architect Luca Beltrami, and today it stands as a cultural hub, home to several museums and art collections.\n\nInside, you’ll find the Museo d’Arte Antica, which contains sculptures, tapestries, and medieval artifacts. Among the highlights is Michelangelo’s \"Rondanini Pietà\", an unfinished masterpiece that offers a deeply emotional insight into the artist’s later years. The Pinacoteca del Castello features a collection of Renaissance art, with notable works from masters like Andrea Mantegna and Canaletto.\n\nThe castle’s interior courtyards, known as Corte Ducale and Corte della Rocchetta, are peaceful spaces where you can take in the blend of Renaissance and Gothic architectural elements. These courtyards, once bustling with military and political life, now serve as a serene contrast to the city’s busy streets.\n\nA visit to Sforzesco Castle wouldn’t be complete without exploring its rich history as a military fortress. From its role in the Italian Wars to Napoleon’s occupation of Milan, the castle has witnessed centuries of conflict and transformation. Its defensive design, including the Torre del Filarete, the castle’s central tower, was instrumental in the fortifications that helped Milan hold strategic importance in northern Italy.\n\nToday, Sforzesco Castle is also a cultural destination, hosting temporary exhibitions, concerts, and events that bring together art, history, and modern creativity. Whether you're here to admire the art, explore Milan's history, or simply enjoy a quiet walk through the castle grounds, Sforzesco Castle offers a unique journey into the past while remaining deeply connected to Milan’s present.\n\n"}]},{"address":"Parco Sempione","ttsFile":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2Fty4req2r5FFX3GnjJv7N%2Ftts_7.mp3?alt=media&token=1769cba2-f58e-4b2a-a9a0-2c00df2798ea","placeId":null,"location":{"longitudeDelta":0.1358411316394428,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":45.4726891620904,"longitude":9.176284949999998},"media":[{"type":"place","content":{"formatted_address":"Parco Sempione, Piazza Sempione, 20154 Milano MI, Italy","types":["establishment","park","point_of_interest","tourist_attraction"],"partial_match":true,"geometry":{"viewport":{"east":9.1814281,"south":45.4690802,"north":45.4762972,"west":9.1711418},"location":{"lng":9.177224299999999,"lat":45.4720981},"location_type":"GEOMETRIC_CENTER"},"address_components":[{"types":["establishment","park","point_of_interest","tourist_attraction"],"short_name":"Parco Sempione","long_name":"Parco Sempione"},{"types":["route"],"short_name":"Piazza Sempione","long_name":"Piazza Sempione"},{"types":["locality","political"],"short_name":"Milano","long_name":"Milano"},{"types":["administrative_area_level_3","political"],"short_name":"Milano","long_name":"Milano"},{"types":["administrative_area_level_2","political"],"short_name":"MI","long_name":"Città metropolitana di Milano"},{"types":["administrative_area_level_1","political"],"short_name":"Lombardia","long_name":"Lombardia"},{"types":["country","political"],"short_name":"IT","long_name":"Italy"},{"types":["postal_code"],"short_name":"20154","long_name":"20154"}],"plus_code":{"compound_code":"F5CG+RV Milan, Metropolitan City of Milan, Italy","global_code":"8FQFF5CG+RV"},"place_id":"ChIJWUblrUjBhkcRtpP5ICHdu7g"}},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2Fty4req2r5FFX3GnjJv7N%2Fparco.webp?alt=media&token=cb0dd252-1ef1-4e3e-8ab8-9e40c5f62dab"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2Fty4req2r5FFX3GnjJv7N%2Fparco%201.jpg?alt=media&token=ef65802e-ae27-4c8d-b285-0479781a6e15"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2Fty4req2r5FFX3GnjJv7N%2Fparco%202.jpg?alt=media&token=caa5bf30-5505-495b-bc44-275da969e962"},{"type":"text","content":"Parco Sempione is a vast public park located right next to Sforzesco Castle, offering a tranquil escape in the heart of Milan.
