Castello Sforzesco is another sight to see in Milan and was the residence of the ruling families in the past. It was built in the 15 century on the remains of a 14th century fortress and was expanded many times over the centuries. This castle is huge with walled grounds and a moat ( now grass), and today is the home of an art museum.
Main entrance to the grounds.
The castle extends to both sides of the entrance.
Another entrance to the castle grounds has a draw-bridge over the moat.
One of the two defense towers.
The moat is now grass and a driveway for utility vehicles.
Partial family portrait of the present day residents of the castle grounds. I counted a total of 12 felines but only 3 agreed to be photographed.
