Castello Sforzesco, Milan

Here's some light in the otherwise so gray and dull architectural landscape of Milan city centre.

Eventhough the castle itself is greyish it still manages to impress the visitor with its green medievalish-romantic trench around its thick and heavy walls.

The Castello Sforzesco is one of the oldest remaining buildings in Milan and houses a comprehensive museum of instruments, armour, clothes etc which is very interesting. I have several more photos on my Castello Sforzesco travelogue.

The Parco Sempione is right next to it, and worth a wander on a sunny day (see my Parco Sempione travelogue - soon to come - for more info)

Well about this place ..

I guess You will get a feeling that You have gone back to 1000 years ..

The noise of humming birds ... and an empty lake area that surrounds the castle ... lokks really grand ...

And also the nearby greenery will catch your eyes in no time ......

I found lots of japanese couples together making their pictures wearing dresses which they wear at the time of marriage .......

Really I liked the dress and of course the bride sitting at the center of park getting herself catched in nature.

maybe i was there at a wrong time, maybe coz it wasn't a sunny day, maybe i had too many problems with the hotel. but this place wasn't a big deal.
the grass burnt out long ago, the whole place looked dull. i was wondering around for some time, and was unable to find interesting spots...

if you have limited amount of time, i would advise u to leave this for the last on ur list...

A nice castle in the heart of the city.
Surronded by a beautyful park ( parco sempione) is a must for the tourist!
Inside there are a few museums and the park is very enjoyable for a picnic lunch, for relaxing under the shadow of a tree or for playing soccer with friends.

In front of the main entrance of the castle takes place a square with a beautyful fountain in the middle.

Unfortunately i cant find any pictures, but this park I wandered upon was exquisite. I spent the entire day here, alone, soaking up italy as well as the sun. There were so many hidden spots to relax in, and people just relaxing and playing.

The castle is a must-see when you travel to Milan. The castle contains several museums or galleries that feature a variety of art. One of the galleries features dinner menu designs, something out of the ordinary. All the exhibits at the castle are free of charge. The castle itself is impressive as well. A great photograph spot.

We left on the Cairoli metro station, the Castello is very near. We found inside the castle a few expositions. One was dedicated to forks, knifes, some really old, others more recent. And also an exposition with weapons, swords, armors, sculptures, arches and tapestries. I have several photos on the Castello Sforzesco Gallery.
