Lonely Planet review for Castello Sforzesco

Originally a Visconti fortress, this immense red-brick castle was later home to the mighty Sforza dynasty that ruled Renaissance Milan. The castle’s defences were designed by Leonardo da Vinci; Napoleon later drained the moat and removed the drawbridges. Today, it shelters a series of specialised museums.

    Who doesn't love a castle?

    baxgirl830 recommends this,

    The Castello Sforzesco houses some museums but the inner yards are free to the public. It's beautiful and nice to walk around.
