Sforza Castle and Michelangelo's Pietà Rondanini guided experience
Overview

Mobile ticket
Florence is not the only Renaissance city in Italy. You can still find some traces of that period in Milan as well!
Unveil the last masterpiece from Michelangelo right in Sforza Castle, located in the heart of Milan. A few steps away from Duomo, the Cathedral, one of the most beautiful piece of art is resting: Pietà Rondanini by Michelangelo.
He did this amazing sculpture when he was 89 years old, only a few days before his death.
But it is not all about Michelangelo! Have you ever heard about his friend Leonardo Da Vinci?
During the 1.5-hour guided experience with our monolingual guide you will hear many stories about him as well.
Finally, every secret of the Castle is going to take life: visit the courtyard and the interior of the Castle and learn about Milan’ powerful families.

3.00Tour guide was very hard to understand her English and spoke so quietly. Wish we had a head set to hear her. The tour was a small group of 6 people but the crowds of people were a bit overwhelming and made it hard to hear our guide. What we saw was very interesting.

3.00The guide was very nice, but was difficult to understand. We didn’t really enjoy this tour. Please screen the guide better for spoken language proficiency.

5.00Very informative tour about the castle, Sforza family history. Castle is much larger than you realize from street view. The castle museum is an art gallery
Monotonous.

3.00The tour guide was unfortunately quite monotonous and did not engage us much. Especially kids. This is of course not a kids tour, nonetheless, the tour guide could be more engaging.
