Sforza Castle

Sforza Castle (Italian: Castello Sforzesco) is a castle in Milan, northern Italy. It was built in the 15th century by Francesco Sforza, Duke of Milan, on the remains of a 14th-century fortification.

Largely remade by Luca Beltrami in 1891-1905, it now houses several of the city's museums and art collections.
