Castello Sforzesco, Medieval castle in Vigevano, Italy
The Castello Sforzesco covers 70,000 square meters and functions as an independent city with multiple interconnected buildings within its defensive walls.
The Visconti family initiated the transformation of a fortification into a residence in 1337, which the Sforza family later expanded during the 15th century.
The Leonardiana section contains exhibitions related to Leonardo da Vinci, while the Lomellina National Archaeological Museum displays local artifacts and discoveries.
The castle remains open throughout the year with separate admission fees for the Tower and Leonardiana sections, while general access to the grounds is free.
The castle features the Bramante Tower, designed to mirror the architecture of Milan Castle, serving as both an entrance point and an observation post.
