The journey begins with an exterior view of this 14th-century fort, which transformed from a defensive structure to a ducal palace, later becoming one of Italy’s most impressive forts under the Sforza family.

Upon entering the castle, you'll learn about vital events in its history, including the Milanese dispute over the castle, Napoleon’s order to demolish it, and its significance during World War II.
