CA'GRANDA - UNIVERSITÀ
All the hospitals in Milan were brought together in one place by Francesco Sforza.
In 1456, Francesco Sforza decided to bring all the hospitals in Milan together in one place. He therefore built the Ca' Granda, which remained a hospital until 1942. Today it is the seat of the University Rectorate and a number of faculties. The building is the work of the architect Filarete, author of the central tower of the Sforza Castle. The right side of the long façade, covered with beautiful terracotta decorations, is a mixture of Gothic and Renaissance styles. Inside there is the Cortilone, a large courtyard surmounted by a portico with a loggia.
