Traveler reviews
EISUKE IWASAKI
★★★★★3 months agoThe Filarete Tower is a very popular spot with many tourists visiting throughout the day. There are plenty of street vendors and places selling drinks nearby, creating a lively atmosphere. The tower itself is beautiful and well worth visiting while sightseeing in Milan.
Voyager1
★★★★★5 months agoAn iconic tower which once dominated the Milanese skyline, now dwarfed by the surrounding skyscrapers. It was built in the late 1890s when interest in the castle became apparent and so Milan decided to renovate it to its original splendour.
