Restored after heavy bomb damage in 1943, the Cas- tello Sforzesco is one of Milan’s best-known monuments. Constructed in 1368 as a defense against Venice, it was used as an army barrack, a horse stall, and a storage house before da Vinci converted it into a studio. Inside are the Musei Civici (Civic Museums), which include the Museo Degli Instrument! Musicali (Musical Instruments Museum) and the Museo d’Arte Applicata (Applied Arts Museum). The ground floor contains a sculpture collection most renowned for Michelangelo’s unfinished, angular Pieta Rondanini (1564), his last work.
