オペラの洞窟・トップ10

ラ・トーレ・デル・フィラレーテは、ミラノのスフォルツァ城の主な記念碑的な入り口です。1452年にフィレンツェの建築家アントニオ・アヴェルリーノ（フィラレーテとして知られる）によってフランチェスコ・スフォルツァの命により設計されましたが、1521年に火薬庫の爆発により崩壊しました。 現在の姿は、1905年に建築家ルカ・ベルトラミが主導した文献学的な再建の結果です。

At the entrance to the Castle, just below the Filarete Tower, there are several well-equipped bicycle parking areas.

A true gem just a stone's throw from Milan. It's a shame it can't be visited.

With its seven centuries of history, the Sforza Castle is an extraordinary testimony to Milan's glorious times and dramatic moments. A fortress built by Galeazzo II Visconti between 1360 and 1370, the Castle became a ducal residence during the Visconti era, undergoing partial demolition during the Ambrosian Republic (1447-1450). Rebuilt by the new lord of the city, Francesco Sforza, it became the elegant setting for one of the most sumptuous European courts during the time of Galeazzo Maria Sforza and Ludovico il Moro, in an era that saw artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Bramante in Milan. Having lost its appearance as a noble residence, the Castle was used as a barracks during the foreign dominations of the State of Milan: Spanish (1535-1706), Austrian (1706-1796), French (1796-1814), and Austrian again (1814-1859). Only at the end of the 19th century, during a unified Italy, was the historic building rebuilt, restored, and transformed into a museum by Luca Beltrami. Today, the Castle, with its museums and cultural institutions, is one of Milan's most significant monuments and attracts visitors from around the world.
