Milan Attractions

Venue: Parco delle Cave    When: Daily

The 135-hectare Cave Park (Parco delle Cave) is Milan's most recently-developed urban park, with diverse flora and fauna, streams, farms and four caves - the latter owing their existence to the process of sand extraction that took place in the early 20th century.

Today the caves look like lakes, adding a picturesque touch to the overall appearance of the park. A project is under way to build three man-made floating islands, introducing a new population of water birds into the existing fauna.

In addition to its rich vegetation, Parco delle Cave is also home to various associations which organise educational activities for schoolchildren, sporting competitions and cultural events.
