Sforza Castle (Castello Sforzesco) Tours and Tickets

Q: What is the history behind Sforza Castle?

Sforza Castle was built in the 15th century over an older fortification under the direction of Francesco Sforza of the Sforza dynasty. It has since undergone expansions and renovations, some by Leonardo da Vinci, and today hosts museums with artworks and artifacts from different periods of Italian history.

Q: Is there an entrance fee to visit Sforza Castle?

No, Milan's Sforza Castle does not charge admission. To enter, walk through the Filarete Tower gate in front of Piazza Castello Fountain or go to the back entrance via Parco Sempione. You can freely walk through the courtyard and public areas but must pay admission to its museums.

Q: What are the must-see attractions inside Sforza Castle?

The castle is one of Milan’s must-see attractions. Seven museums are inside, including the Museum of Ancient Art in the Ducal apartments, the Pinacoteca, and the Museum of Musical Instruments. The Rondanini Pieta Museum houses Michelangelo’s final work, The Rondanini Pietà sculpture.

Q: Is photography allowed inside Sforza Castle?

Yes, photography is allowed inside Sforza Castle—one of Milan’s most photogenic attractions. According to local law, you can take photographs as long as they are for personal, non-commercial use. However, flash photography is discouraged, and exhibitions may give specific photography guidelines.

Q: How long does it take to tour Sforza Castle?

It depends. You can tour the courtyard and public spaces in 30 minutes, but visiting even one of the castle’s seven museums takes longer. Plan to spend three to four hours to see the grounds and one or two of the larger museums, though you could spend longer.

Last Supper and Sforza guided tour with Alessandra

If you are fortunate enough to have Alessandra as your guide, it will be the best tour you’ll ever have! She is a walking encyclopedia! She is full of humor too. She was so kind to engage with my young daughter throughout the tour and make her feel included. It was a great experience seeing The Last Supper in person, visiting the Basilica delle Grazie and walking through Milan to Sforza castle…and gaining so much knowledge throughout! We cannot wait to visit Milan again.
