Fossati Esterni del Castello Sforzesco

The Sforza Castle is one of Milan’s main landmarks and was built in the 15th century. The external moats serve as a defensive feature surrounding the castle. Originally, these moats were filled with water and served as defensive ditches, separating the castle from the surrounding city. They were designed to protect the castle from potential external attacks. The castle also houses numerous museums and art galleries within its premises, making it an important cultural center in Milan.
