After it was destroyed, Francesco Sforza had it rebuilt and also erected the Torre del Filarete. In the course of history, the castle was extended and converted into a residence by numerous famous artists and master builders.<br>After the rule of the Sfoza family was crushed by the French in 1499, the castle was badly damaged by civil wars, occupation and siege.<br>Under Spanish rule, the Castello Sforzesco (1526) was expanded into a star-shaped defensive ring according to military considerations. Even Napoleon used the castle when he invaded Milan in 1796.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vonortzuort.reisen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/panorama.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/vonortzuort.reisen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/panorama.jpg\" alt=\"Castello Sforzesco\" class=\"wp-image-5333\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, the rooms of the castle house several museums with interesting exhibits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vonortzuort.reisen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/aussenmauer.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/vonortzuort.reisen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/aussenmauer.jpg\" alt=\"Mauern Castello\" class=\"wp-image-5335\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Castello is an impressive building.
