Streets of Milan - Part Four Sforza Castle and Surrounds

in photography •  7 years ago 

The Sforza Castle is a palace, fortress, and monument in Milan, Italy. The original castle was built by Galeazzo Visconti, Lord of Venice, in the 1300s. A century later, the castle was largely destroyed, but later in the 15th Century a new Duke of Milan Francesco Sforza rebuilt the castle.

A moat used to run around the entire fort

An impressive side entrance to the castle square with the drawbridge guides clearly evident either side of the gate

To the right as one enters the main accomodation and galleys were located. The weather was very dull hence the poor quality of the picture

Left hand side and the main entrance under the church tower . This is where we exited the castle and saw the fountain.... but first a food stop, proscuttio and brie bruchetta from a street vendor

Below are images of the Fontana di Piazza Castello

Frozen water in the fountain pays testament to the freezing temperatures at the time

And that I think is enough from Milan ..... next we head off to Como district ...
