One of Europe's largest medieval castles, Castello Sforzesco was built in the 15th century by the powerful Sforza dynasty. The castle now houses a series of excellent civic museums (combined ticket EUR 5), including Michelangelo's final sculpture - the unfinished Rondanini Pieta - a deeply moving work. Behind the castle lies Parco Sempione (47 hectares) - Milan's green lung and the perfect spot for a picnic or afternoon stroll.
Pro Tip: The courtyard is free to enter and open until late - a lovely spot for an evening walk. The castle museums are free every first and third Tuesday of the month after 2pm.
