Apart from Parco Sempione, good for a wander or lakeside picnic, the area around the Castello Sforzesco has little to detain you, and there are more interesting pickings to the south, beyond the busy streets of the financial district, skirted by Corso Magenta.
The displays of glass phials, kitchen utensils and jewellery from Roman Milan are compelling, and though there's a scarcity of larger objects, there is a colossal head of Jove, found near the castle, a torso of Hercules and a smattering of mosaic pavements unearthed around the city.
First built as a Gothic church by the fifteenth-century architect Solari, Santa Maria delle Grazie was partially rebuilt under a dissatisfied Lodovico Sforza by the more up-to-date Bramante, who tore down Solari's chancel and replaced it with a massive dome supported by an airy Renaissance cube.
