Discover Santa Margherita: Churches, Cycle Path and Green Spaces

Santa Margherita focuses on ecclesiastical architecture, local history, cycling and green spaces. This creates a destination that can be explored through a range of interests. You can give the various aspects different weight depending on your personal travel interests, without reducing the town to just one sight.

Ecclesiastical Architecture and Historical Traces

At the centre of Santa Maria Assunta church is a mosaic depicting the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. The work was created by Father Francesco Radaelli and provides a clear cultural accent within the church. Visitors interested in culture can view Father Francesco Radaelli’s mosaic in Santa Maria Assunta as an independent work of art alongside the church’s architecture, considering the image motif and the building’s form separately.

The building itself also offers a precise architectural reference: Santa Maria Assunta church has a longitudinal floor plan. Its planning and construction are associated with the year 1964. Santa Maria Assunta is a parish church in the Archdiocese or Diocese of Milan. It is located in the neighbouring block of houses to the Edmondo De Amicis school in Santa Margherita; it includes a parish and an oratory.

A different historical layer is represented by the former Santa Margherita church, previously San Bernardo, dating from the 9th century. Only a small bell tower and a beautiful image of the saint remain. The historic centre of Cascina Bini is located in Santa Margherita. The Santa Margherita Chapel is one of the historic and artistic architectural monuments of Lissone.

Cycling and Green Spaces

For visitors who want to include cycling in their trip, Via Santa Margherita is an important point of reference. It is one of the most important existing cycle routes in Lissone. Those including cycling in their plans can note the existing Via Santa Margherita as a separate planning point for Lissone. This adds an active perspective to the ecclesiastical and historical themes, which you can take into account separately when planning your personal trip.

Santa Margherita has two small neighbourhood gardens: one on Via Pestalozzi and one on Via Pasolini. Together, they cover a total area of approximately 7,000 m². The approximately 7,000 m² is the combined total area of both gardens; the figure therefore does not indicate the size of each individual garden at the two locations. Santa Margherita also has woodland areas and pure black locust stands. Those who want to include landscape aspects in their trip alongside architecture and local history will find a second way to experience the town in its gardens, woodland areas and black locust stands.

When choosing a hotel, you can assess Santa Margherita according to the theme that is to shape your trip: ecclesiastical architecture and local history, cycling in Lissone or the town’s green spaces. This allows your accommodation decision to be linked to a clear idea of what you would like to explore further in Santa Margherita and Lissone.
