Milan Castle

Work started on the build in 1360 and was used as a castle until 1862 but now the building houses nine museums, a few of which we visited.

 But not before we took a stroll in the park behind the castle,

and a spot of lunch in front of it.  You see, we were visiting on Tuesday, the day all the museums are free to enter after 2 pm.  Result.

 Art all over the place.

Michelangelo's last marble sculpture has its very own museum, housed in what was the castles  hospital.  Rondanini Pieta.

 He is reputed to have been working on it up to few days before he died in 1564.
