Nice gardens in and around the castle

Sforzesco Castle is in the heart of Milan, with an iconic square clock tower in the middle of the castle and a prototype turret at the corner. The periphery is a circle of trenches that are now covered by green, terrible lawns. Red bricks and beige plasters, the old Si family's house looks slightly broken bricks, but the size and momentum of the castle are not said. Through the doorway, there is an open square inside. There are many museums inside, most of which are arts and crafts. If you don't have deep cultural advice, don't go in. Look at the location is very good, the castle compound is free to enter.
