The Sforza Castle is a spectacular fortified palace built by the Viscontis
and the Sforzas, Signori of Milan, who held sway over Northern Italy between
the late Middle Ages and Renaissance.
The Castle was extensively renovated around 1900 to house museums and
libraries. Particularly outstanding is the art gallery, or Museo d'Arte
Antica, containing both paintings and sculptures. Its exhibits include the
Rondanini Pieta, last and perhaps most moving masterpiece by Michelangelo. |
