Must-visit in Milan | Sforza Castle awaits you

In the heart of Milan stands a towering square red brick castle, the Sforza Castle. This castle is not just a building, but a witness to Milan's history, a symbol of the Sforza family's glory and honor, and the most magnificent non-religious building in Milan during the Renaissance. Originally the private residence of the Sforza family, the castle has become a museum over the centuries, showcasing Milan's history and culture to the public. The main gate of the castle faces the city center, and the 70-meter-high spire is impressive. Above the gate, a huge white marble relief depicts King Umberto I on horseback, and above it is a clock, as if telling the story of time and witnessing the changes of history. The two corners of the castle are symmetrical tall round corner towers, each decorated with a stone shield engraved with the family crests of the Visconti and Sforza families, symbolizing their long rule over Milan. The high tower-shaped main gate, red brick walls, and round bastions on both sides form the front of the castle, appearing both majestic and harmonious. Entering the castle, you will enter a large courtyard, once a training ground, full of the atmosphere of battle. After entering the second gate, there are several square courtyards on the left and right, each seemingly telling a story of history. Exiting the back door, you will come to the 47-hectare English-style Sempione Park. This park faces the Arch of Peace, giving a sense of openness. Here, you can feel the fusion of nature and history, as if time has stopped here. The castle is surrounded by high walls and a deep moat, giving a deep sense of protection, as if the castle is the guardian of Milan, witnessing the prosperity and changes of the city. Sforza Castle is not just a building, but a container of history, a carrier of culture. Here, you can see the historical traces of Milan and feel the glory and honor of the family. This castle is not just a tourist attraction, but a museum, a place that tells stories of the past. Here, you can see the statue of King Umberto I, admire the giant snake on the family crest, and feel the breath of history. In summary, Sforza Castle is the soul of Milan. It is a historic building, a castle that has witnessed the prosperity and changes of Milan, a place that tells stories of the past. Whether from the architectural style or the depth of history, Sforza Castle is the pride of Milan. It is not just a tourist attraction, but a cultural symbol, a witness to history. The existence of this castle allows people to gain a deeper understanding of Milan's history and culture and makes people love this city even more.
