We have designed our tour for those looking to admire the meaningful works of art and architecture of the historic centre of Monza.

Starting out from Villa Reale, we will reach “New Bridge” (Ponte Nuovo). The ancient gateway to the city of Monza, it runs alongside a section of the manmade Lambretto canal, which between 1333 and 1336, was topped by a fortified wall. We will stop to visit the ancient San Gerado hospital and the Roman age “d’Arena bridge”. We continue our reminiscences of Manzoni in Monza at the “St Maurice Cloister”.

We will walk along a path to the ancient Spalto Isolino mill and Largo Mazzini. We will proceed from here to a Cathedral rebuilt in gothic shape, on the way passing Santa Maria in Strada, a Franciscan church built in the Lombard gothic style.

The itinerary offers you an opportunity to see the most important goldsmith works of late antiquity, the prime sculptures of Campion and the frescos in the Zavattari Chapel - a late Lombard gothic gem that holds the “Iron Crown” (Corona Ferrea).

The visit continues along Via Lambro, which once held the “Salt Customs House” and still has remnants of an ancient tower house and the old shuttered houses.

The itinerary ends with an analysis of the Arengario (city hall) and the Dominican cloister San Pietro Martire.
