Discover Rozzano: Nature, Parks and Culture

Rozzano offers several clear points of interest for an independently planned trip to Italy. The Oasi dello Smeraldino, Parco delle Rogge and Cascina Grande Cultural Centre each focus on different aspects of nature, activity and culture. Those who want to combine nature and culture will find both natural areas and the Cascina Grande Cultural Centre in Rozzano.

Nature between protected area and parkland

The Oasi dello Smeraldino is a protected area. In 2007, it was also designated a Punto Parco of the Parco Agricolo Sud Milano. This makes the Oasi a natural point of interest for your travel planning if you would like to include landscapes and protected areas.

Parco delle Rogge covers a total area of approximately 34.6 hectares. A new wetland was created there. Paths for cycling and walking, including footbridges, were also built. The combination of open space, water and footbridges provides concrete points of reference for your planning if you want to combine outdoor activity with observing nature. Those travelling on foot or by bicycle will find the constructed paths and footbridges in the park.

Educational visits are organised at Oasi La Sorgiva. Those who would like to combine the nature aspect with an educational offering can include this site as a separate item on their itinerary.

Astronomy and knowledge at the cultural centre

The municipal astronomical observatory was inaugurated on 27 May 2023 in the outdoor area of the Cascina Grande Cultural Centre.

The observatory dome has a diameter of just under 7 metres and an opening shaped like a flower. This architectural detail also makes the site interesting for travellers who value distinctive design during a cultural stay.

At the Cascina Grande Cultural Centre, adult and children's libraries provide access to reading, information and knowledge. In addition to nature, parks and astronomy, you can therefore plan a cultural focus centred on education and reading. The cultural centre thus brings libraries and an observatory together.
