You can literally visit around 10 museums in this castle
I knew that the Sforza Castle houses the Sala delle Asse (that was my main motivation for visiting), but otherwise, I just thought it would be a cool castle. Turns out there’s about 10 museums, so there's really something for everyone. My recommendation is the Ancient Furniture Museum! Honestly such an interesting and beautiful castle.

The tickets include skip-the-line access, which saved us at least 20 minutes. You also get an audio guide, just make sure you download the app beforehand, which is super nice. I liked that we could explore at our own pace, see what we wanted to see, but still learn from the digital guide.

EXPLORE SFORZA CASTLE AND LEARN ITS LONG HISTORY

It then became a large military fortress, until it was repurposed for public use after Italy’s 19th-century unification. Make sure to visit the Torre del Filarete - the central tower with a sun-like clock face inspired by the Sforza coat of arms.
ENJOY GORGEOUS WORKS OF ART
Sforza Castle is filled with beautiful art across multiple exhibitions. First explore the Museum of Ancient Art - you’ll see masterpieces like Michelangelo’s statue “Rondanini Pietà”, the monumental Portale del Banco Mediceo and the “Sala delle Asse” with Leonardo da Vinci’s gorgeous mulberry tree frescoes.
