Sforza Castle

Why go

Sforza Castle is a castle on Piazza Castello in Milan whose buildings hold the City of Milan's Castle museums, among them the Museo Pietà Rondanini Michelangelo, the Museum of Ancient Art and Armoury, the Pinacoteca, the Museum of Decorative Arts, the Ancient Egypt gallery and the Museum of Musical Instruments, as well as civic archives and libraries. The castle's site, run by the City of Milan, says a single ticket gives entry to all the Castle museums and that tickets can be bought online. It lists the courtyards separately from the museums and points to its notices page for closures and changes to room access. This record is the castle; the museums are described as part of it rather than as separate records. Opening times are set by the City and change, so check the castle's site before you go.
