This is five museums and a history lesson about Milan all rolled into one. This castle was orginally began in the 1300's but was really completed by the Sforza family in the 17th century. It is large and magnificent. You will be awed by it's size. It's hard to imagine what life would have been like in its cold dark mazelike hallways and rooms. There is a picture gallery, a collection of musical intruments, an archaelogical museum, and a collection of applied arts, including furniture and costumes, jewelry and pottery. Perhaps the most famous and often vistited area is the Collection of Sculptures which includes the last (unfinished) sculpture by Michaelanelo.
