Thursday 27th August - Castelo Seorzesco

We had decided yesterday that we would do the Duomo today as the crowds were so big yesterday so we walked towards the Hop on bus and went and had a look at the Castelo Seorzesco near the visitors centre. A lot of the Castle is dedicated to Michelangelo as he lived for a part of his life actually in the castle and for the period that he was painting the "Last Supper". He used an experimental painting style for the painting and in the 1980s the painting was in such poor condition that it was taken and professionally restored. The process took 20 years to complete. The castle was originally built from 1357 to 1370 and had been added onto in both the 15th and 16th centuries.

We got on the bus and hopped off at stop 10 for the Duomo.
