The Sforzesco Castle is a large fortified complex located in Milan just outside the historic city center. It was built in the fifteenth century by Francesco Sforza, who recently became Duke of Milan, on the remains of a previous medieval fortification of the fourteenth century known as the Castello di Porta Giovia. In the same area where the Castello di Porta Giovia stood, in Roman times, there was the homonymous Castrum Portae Jovis, one of the four defensive castles of Roman Milan.
