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. ## Before you book - Meeting point: Meeting point under Filarete Tower… - Entry ticket included: skip the ticket desk - 4 start times: between 09:45 and 16:00 - Food not included: bring or buy your own - Wheelchair accessible: operator-marked - Strollers OK: infants accepted ## Key facts - Price: from €37 per person - Duration: 1h 30m - Rating: 4.61/5 from 265 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Recommended by 88% of travellers (share of four- and five-star reviews) - Operator: Hidden Experiences ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | Tour in English | €37 / person | English | - | | Tour in Italian | €50 / person | Italian | - | | Private Tour | €105 / person (for 2+ people) | English, German, Italian, French, Spanish | - | ## What's included - Entry tickets Sforza Castle - Small group tour - Licensed tour guide - Headphones (from 11 participants) ## Not included - Gratuities (optional) - Food & drinks - Hotel Pick-up/Drop-off - Extras ## Itinerary 1. **Castello Sforzesco** (1h 30m; admission included) - is a large fortified complex built in the fifteenth century by Francesco Sforza.
