Soresina: Church Art, Museums and Water Landscapes

Churches, museums, waterways and regional destinations give Soresina a multifaceted character. In Soresina, this selection takes you from sacred art and local history to the water landscape of the Parco di Ariadello e Valle dei Navigli.

Churches, Art and Local History

The foundation stone of the Chiesa Prepositurale di S. Siro was laid in 1582. The church houses works by Luigi Miradori, il Genovesino; its bell tower has a peal of 12 bells. The Chiesa della Madonnina also contains Il miracolo dell'ostia, a work by il Genovesino.

The Santuario di Ariadello was built by the feudal lord G.B. Barbò with contributions from the local population to commemorate a miracle.

How to Plan Your Museum and Theatre Visits

The Museo Francesco Genala preserves documents, manuscripts and objects belonging to the statesman Francesco Genala.

At the Teatro Sociale, telephone ticket reservations are available Monday to Friday from 17:00 to 19:00 at 0374/350944. The Museo Francesco Genala is open on weekdays from 14:15 to 18:30 and on Saturdays from 14:15 to 17:30. These different time windows can be taken into account when planning your day. When planning your day, the two cultural destinations have different opening days: the Teatro Sociale is open Monday to Friday, while Saturday is also included for the museum. Telephone reservations at the Teatro Sociale and the opening hours of the Museo Francesco Genala should therefore be handled as separate planning steps.

Water Landscapes and Wildlife

The Parco di Ariadello e Valle dei Navigli reveals another side of the area. The park encompasses a dense network of waterways made up of canals, streams, springs, ditches and historic fontanili. Local wildlife, including kingfishers and herons, finds refuge in the wooded areas. The park is therefore particularly appealing to travellers who want to combine nature observation with cultural impressions.

Cycle Route Between Two River Parks

The Percorso Ciclabile delle Città Murate connects the regional river parks Adda Sud and Oglio Nord.
