Don't miss a chance to visit Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper, an epochal work being exhibited at the nearby Cenacolo Vinciano Museum.
Sforzesco Castle and Sempione Park, like being at home.
The Milanese castle, whose long and troubled history dates back to the fifteenth century, is one of the city's major landmarks. Even Leonardo da Vinci contributed to its decor!
This imposing fortress now represents a lively artistic and cultural site that invites you to discover its secret paths through fascinating exhibits, activities, guided tours, concerts and special events. Children also have a special venue here: the Sforzinda initiative, in the charming Piazza d'Armi, organizes themed activities for schools and families, combining entertainment with education, interwoven with history, art and culture.
The castle overlooks Sempione Park, which continues up to the Peace Arch. The large public green space offers plenty of opportunities for fun, with its recreation area where you can relax outside, go to exhibitions and concerts, and play sports. The library, aquarium, botanical trails, kiosks and bars can be found there. Athletic events are held at the Civic Arena, a multiuse sports facility. The area also has a Wi-Fi network.
