Milan - Castello Sforzesco 
The Castello Sforzesco, held successively by the Viscontis and the Sforzas, was built in 1368, demolished by the people of Milan in 1447 and rebuilt from 1450 onwards. The Torre de Filarete, on the nearside (70m/231ft high), is a reproduction (1905) of the original gate-tower.

Park
Between the two rear courtyards of the Castello is a passage leading to the park, laid out in 1893-97, once the pleasure garden of the dukes of Milan and later a military training ground. In the northeast of the park is the Arena, an amphitheater constructed in 1807 for sporting and other events. To the southeast is an interesting Aquarium.
