Milan Attractions
Description
Venue: Parco Sempione When: Daily
Located between Sforza Castle and corso Sempione, from where it takes its name, Sempione Park is Milan's biggest green area. It is perfect for long walks and summer picnics, with a large central meadow, small woods, an artificial lake and a fountain designed by De Chirico.
Designed by architect Emilio Alemagna in the late 19th century, the glorious 47-hectare park also houses the Castello Sforzesco, one of the most popular sites in the city, the Arena, a neoclassic building designed by Luigi Canonica in 1806, and the Arco della Pace, a lesser Arc de Triomphe built for the glorification of Napoleon.
Recent efforts have also allowed for the reopening of the 109-metre high steel-tube construction, Torre Littoria or Branca, a 1932 project by world-famous architects Cesare Chiodi, Giò Ponti and Ettore Ferrari, which for years had been closed to the public.
