Cesano Boscone between nature, architecture and culture

Cesano Boscone combines nature observation, paths through greenery and specific cultural destinations. At Bosco dell'acqua and Parco Natura, the landscape and wildlife take centre stage; churches, villas, libraries and museums add architecture and culture to the picture. This allows you to take different interests into account when choosing your hotel, without reducing the area to just one aspect.

Nature among woods, meadows and wetlands

Bosco dell'acqua has 700-metre-long cycling and walking paths. The area covers 10,000 m² of woodland and can be accessed via Via Vespucci and Parco Aldo Moro. This provides a clear focus on nature and activity for planning your day: cycling and walking can be combined here as separate interests.

Parco Natura covers 18 hectares. Groups of trees, rows of trees, irrigated meadows and wetlands connected to historic fontanili shape its landscape. More than 63 animal species have been recorded there, mostly birds. Those who enjoy observation will find a different way of experiencing the surroundings here than on paths where physical activity is the main focus.

Architecture and historical evidence

The Chiesa di San Giovanni Battista has a two-storey neoclassical façade divided by two pairs of pilasters. An ancient baptistery, an initial extension, a three-aisled collegiate church, at least three baptisteries and several graves have also been identified at the church. Visible design and archaeological evidence come together here directly.

Villa Marazzi, Lattuada consists of the villa and the farm buildings that enclose its courtyard. The main building has a portico with five arches and a wooden coffered ceiling. Details of this kind make the site interesting for travellers who want to discover Italian architecture not only through major monuments, but also through individual building complexes.

Museums and destinations in the surrounding area

The cultural perspective extends beyond individual buildings. The library offers around one million books, as well as audiovisual and electronic materials, for consultation, borrowing and online reservation – both at the library and from home. Goppion is a museum in the immediate vicinity of Cesano Boscone. Museo delle culture is a museum in the surrounding area of Cesano Boscone, and La Triennale di Milano is also a museum in the surrounding area.

Other types of destinations also broaden the range: Parco Sandro Pertini is a park in the immediate vicinity of Cesano Boscone. Giardino Alberto Moravia is a garden in the immediate vicinity. Castelletto di Gaggiano is a palace in the surrounding area of Cesano Boscone. Arco della Pace is a natural arch in the surrounding area, as is Porta Garibaldi.

This results in a straightforward comparison for your hotel selection: nature interests lead to Bosco dell'acqua and Parco Natura, while architecture, books and museums offer different focal points. First consider which of these specific themes should define your stay; you can then align your choice of location with your preferred daily rhythm.
