🏰✨ Exploring Castello Sforzesco in Milan 🌳🎨

Castello Sforzesco rises proudly in the heart of Milan, a fortress that feels both imposing and inviting at the same time. Built by the powerful Sforza family in the 15th century, it carries centuries of history within its walls, from battles and noble courts to artistic masterpieces. Walking through its grand gates instantly transports you to another era, yet it’s seamlessly woven into the everyday life of the city today.

Inside, the castle holds treasures that go beyond its medieval walls. Museums and galleries showcase everything from ancient artifacts to works by Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci. Wandering through the courtyards and exhibitions, I found myself constantly surprised at how much there was to see—Castello Sforzesco is as much a cultural hub as it is a historic landmark.

What I loved most, though, was how alive the space felt. Locals relax in the surrounding Parco Sempione, musicians play near the fountain, and visitors like me get to soak up both history and modern Milanese energy in one place. It’s a reminder that the castle isn’t just a relic of the past—it’s a living piece of Milan’s story.
