In 1456 Francesco Sforza instituted one of his greatest public works, a massive hospital with separate wings for women and men, each based around four courtyards. The vast central Cortile Maggiore was added in the 17th century, along with the Annunciazione church with its Guercino altarpiece. The Neo-Classical men’s wing was eventually completed in 1904; but the entire hospital moved elsewhere in 1939, to be replaced by the University of Milan in 1958.
