Cascina Pozzobonelli in Milan, Renaissance villa near Central Station, Milan, Italy

The Cascina Pozzobonelli features an octagonal chapel connected to remnants of a ten-arch portico with stone columns and plant-motif capitals.

Built in 1492 by the Pozzobonelli family as a suburban residence, the original complex included a rectangular palace with two large courtyards and spacious halls.

The chapel interior contains monochrome frescoes depicting the Sforza Castle in its original form, including the Filarete Tower from 1452.

Located in Piazza Luigi di Savoia, the structure requires maintenance as climbing plants and deterioration affect the original frescoes.

The decline of this architectural complex began in 1783 with Cardinal Giuseppe Pozzobonelli's death, leading to multiple demolitions starting in 1898.

Location: Milan

Architects: Donato Bustamante

Architectural style: Renaissance architecture
