Sforza Castle

Cultural siteMilanAbout 2 hours

A brick fortress at the top of the old centre holding several museums at once, among them Michelangelo's last and unfinished Pietà. The courtyards are free to walk through and Sempione park opens out behind it — the easiest place in central Milan to sit down outdoors. Half a day with the museums, twenty minutes if you are cutting through.
