Tour description:
The Castello Sforzesco (or Sforza Castle) is a huge, classically crenelated pile of redbrick masonry that became home to the ruling Sforza family. Stark and domineering, the castle is propped up with massive round battlements, and a stepped tower overlooks the central courtyard and gardens. Leonardo da Vinci helped design the defensive walls.
Today the castle houses a handful of excellent museums and galleries. Explore the architecture of the castle with an art historian guide and learn about its artistic and architectural heritage. The children will learn about the ancient fortress and all its transformations throughout its history through fun teaching materials that will stimulate their curiosity and creativity. Organic snacks will be provided for children during this educational tour. At the end, you will also visit the Rondanini Pietà by Michelangelo and the Leonardo da Vinci room.
