the patron saint of Milan. The library is famous for the structure as well
as the books and manuscripts it holds. The cardinal was an avid art
collector and bibliophile; he sent people out across Europe and Syria
to collect valuable manuscripts, particularly those with some religious
significance. He amassed over 30,000 manuscripts

Visit Time: 1 hour

This is one of the city's oldest museums; it was founded in 1618 by
Cardinal Federico Borromeo and is home to display his personal
collection. The museum is adjacent to the Biblioteca Ambrosiana
which houses written works by some of greatest historic writers,
artists, inventors and historians. The structure which houses both the
Pinacoteca Ambrosiana and the Biblioteca Ambrosiana is a beautiful
building called the Palazzo dell'Ambrosiana. The art gallery was
originally opened to the public in 1618 with 172 paintings and in 1620
the Cardinal opened the Accademia del Disegno. The paintings in the
gallery were intended to inspire art students in the academy. Today
the academy is housed in the Palazzo di Brera and has been renamed
the Accademia di Belle Arti.
The original 172 pictures still form the core of the permanent
collection, preliminarily they are Italian and Flemish works from the 15
th
and 16 th century. Visitors can see that the cardinal favored

paintings with a religious theme, for example the Adoration of the Magi
by Titian and the Madonna of the Pavilion by Botticelli. Other
masterpieces in the collection include Leonardo da Vinci's portrait of a
court musician; Caravaggio's Fruit Basket and one of Raphael's

Religious Sites
Visit Time: 1 hour

This is a small church sandwiched between larger more recent
constructions, what it lacks in size it makes up for in decoration. The
church dates back to the 9th century and Gothic frescos, two bays and
a vaulted ceiling remain from this original structure. From the 14th
century church a wooden sculpture of St. Christopher and baby Jesus
remains which was restored in the 15th century. It was in the 15th
century that architect Donato Bramante transformed the church in an
effort to expand its limited size and added the Church of Saint Mary
adjacent to the original structure.
The church has a barrel vaulted ceiling and a dome at the point where
the nave crosses the transept. In an effort to make the church seem
larger Bramante added a trompe l'oeil painting adding depth to the
church behind the altar by Giuseppe Peroni. The illusion uses trompe
l'oeil paintings of realistic looking columns, arches and a dome to
extend the 97cm space to look more like almost 10 meters. This was
the first know use of the trompe l'oeil painting technique. The church
holds the votive painting Madonna and Child and Pieta, a sculptural
group with 14 terra cotta figures created by Agostino de Fondutis in
1483.

Palaces
Visit Time: 1 hour

The Palazzo Reale (once called the Royal Ducal) is located on Piazza
del Duomo in central Milan; it is home to the Contemporary Art
Museum and the Duomo Cathedral Museum. The palace covers
7,000m and is one of the city's most important cultural centers and
exhibition spaces. The palace was the center of Milan government in
the Middle Ages and during the rule of Torriani, Visconti and Sforza. In
the 16 th century the Governor took on the project of raising the
standard of the palace. Pellegrino Tibaldi was employed from 1573 to
1598 to design the interior with the help of major artists of the time.
During the 17 th and 18 th century the palace was damaged by fires
and in 1745 was restored and Francesco Croce was used to design
and furnish the interiors.
The building has sweeping staircases and large elegant halls which
can be credited to 1769 designs by Luigi Vanvitelli and construction by
Giuseppe Piermarini. The leading artists of the time were
commissioned to decorate the interiors including the Maggiolini family.
Other contributors to the sumptuous interiors were Giulio Traballesi
and sculptors Giocondo Albertolli, Gaetano Caldani and Giuseppe
Franchi while Giuseppe Maggiolini designed a lot of the furniture.
The neoclassical palace became the home of successive rulers
including Maria Theresa, Napoleon, Ferdinand I and the Savoy family.
In 1920 the palace ceased to be the home of the wealthy rulers and
was opened to the general public. The building was bombed in 1943
during WWII and later restored. One of the most stunning rooms is the
Hall of the Caryatides (Sala delle Cariatidi) which was the only part of
the structure to survive unscathed by the bombing. The palace is
adorned with rich tapestries, decorated ceilings, chandeliers and
murals.

touches were still being added to the church. As the cathedral took so

Landmarks
Visit Time: 1 hour, 30 mins

Sfarzo Castle is an historic fortress which houses several of Milan's
best museums including the Pinacoteca del Castello Sforzesco. The
original fortress on this site was constructed in 1368 and at that point it
had four 80 meter long walls with square towers at the corners. Later
the fortress was expanded and converted to a palace residence. With
the proclamation of the Ambrosian Republic in 1447 the palace was
destroyed as the people of Milan saw it as a representing the Visconti
regime. One of the leaders of the new republic was Francesco Sforza
who made himself Duke of Milan and had the castle rebuilt with the
addition of a central 70 meter tall tower, Torre del Filarete. Sforza's
heirs made further additions and changes to the structure beginning in
1450. During the Renaissance Ludovico Sforza used the talents of
Leonardo da Vinci and Donato Bramante to enhance the interior.
In the next few centuries Milan found itself ruled by foreigners and the
castello was used for military purposes. Under the Spanish the castle
became one of the largest citadels in Europe, a star-shaped fort was
constructed with 12 bastions and the external walls were fortified and
reached 3km in length. In 1861 Italy was unified and the building's fate
was in the balance. Luckily the castle was saved and converted into a
civil building with many of the original features renovated and rebuilt.
The castle's reconstruction was done under the watchful eye of
architect Luca Beltrami.
The complex has a quadrangular layout with three internal courtyards
and several impressive towers. Each corner of the complex has four
towers, there are 2 round towers on one faade, the Torre di Santi
Spirito and the Torre del Carmine and two square towers on the
opposite faade facing away from the city, the Torre Castellana and
the Torre Falconiera. The complex is entered through the Torre del
Filarete, which leads to a large inner courtyard, the Piazza d'Armi. You
can see ceiling paintings by Leonardo da Vinci in the castle's Sala
Delle Asse.

the most stunningly beautiful in the city with frescoes covering every
surface and bursting with color. The church took 12 years to complete

Giacomo Dolcebuono and completed by Solari; it was constructed on
ancient Roman ruins. The rectangular church has a barrel vaulted
ceiling with decorative ribs, the hall is divided into a public area where
the main altar is located and an area for the nuns (the Hall of Nuns)

Religious Sites
Visit Time: 1 hour

This church in the Piazza Santa Maria delle Grazie is home to
Leonardo da Vinci's fresco The Last Supper which is within the
Cenacolo Viniciano building. The artist spent from 1495 to 1497
painting the scene of Jesus last meal with the disciples before his
arrest. The painting is in the former Dominican convent's refractory
and over the course of time has suffered from damp walls, the fumes
and dirt from the convent kitchen, Napoleons troops using the wall for
target practice, WWII bombing, exposure to the elements and bad
restoration efforts in the 18 th and 19 th century. So the painting is not
in the greatest condition but is still one of the most iconic images in
art. In an attempt to preserve the painting a limited number of people
are allowed into the room where the fresco is at any one time. Viewers
are checked to make sure they are not carrying anything that could
contaminate or damage the painting before being let into the room. It
is also necessary to buy tickets in advance and often long lines form
waiting to go in. In addition to the Last Supper the church is worth
taking a look at, it was completed in 1490 by Guiniforte Solari and later
additions were made by Donato Bramante including the dome. The
vaults have frescos dating back to the original construction of the
building and the church has beautiful cloisters. Dont miss the door of
the church which dates back to 1463.
