A Roman, Longobard, Habsburg and Napoleonic city. Monza is a town of villas, churches and convents. Artistic excellences, international sporting events, and an amazing greenery.

Enjoy the largest enclosed park in Europe: More than 700 hectares of meadows and woods, a river, ponds and secular trees. Walk along the river, to discover the oldest bridges that cross the river Lambro. Visit the centre of the religious and political life in Monza: The Duomo.
Itinerary
Chiesa di Santa Maria in Strada
10 minsAdmission Ticket FreeThe building of the church, whose name recalls the important Strata (paved street) connecting Monza to Milan, was promoted by a community of Franciscan Tertiaries between the year 1348 and 1368 following the project of Ambrogiolo da Milano. Transferred in 1393 to the Augustinian friars of the Milanese monastery of San Marco, it was internally transformed using late Baroque style decorations starting from 1756. The façade, with a fake loggia and terracotta ornamentation, is one of the most beautiful in the Lombard Gothic style and was restored in 1870; the original stone statue representing the Madonna and Child, connected with the Augustinian cult of the Virgin Mary’s girdle and sculpted by an anonymous Lombard artist in the 15th century, is actually displayed in the Museum and Treasury of the Duomo and replaced in the niche by a copy.Duomo di Monza
15 minsAdmission Ticket FreeSaint John's church of Monza boasts a long and legendary history, from the Lombard origins to the riot of baroque decorations. Visit inside to admire the main works of art.Ponte Dei Leoni
10 minsAdmission Ticket FreeBuilt in 1842 on the remains of the roman bridge of Arena (one of its arches is still visible at one end of the present-day bridge) for the opening of Via Ferdinandea, now Via Vittorio Emanuele II, the Lions Bridge is made up of three arches with granite abutments. On its sides four marble lions, work of the sculptor Tantardini, watch over the monumental bridge. Two footpaths follow the river Lambro, leading to the areas that were once occupied by mills for grinding wheat, irrigation ditches and washhouses. The typical and picturesque houses with communal long balconies are a testimony of this ancient area.Arengario
10 minsAdmission Ticket FreeBuilt towards the end of the 13th century, the ancient town hall called Arengario (from the Latin arengarius, deriving from the Germanic hari-hring, place for gatherings) stands quite contiguous to the Duomo, thus visually representing the opposing religious and civic powers marking even in Monza the Age of the city states.Chiesa di Santa Maria al Carrobiolo
10 minsAdmission Ticket FreeProbably built on a pagan cemeterial area, the church was completed around 1260 to host the Humiliati friars and, after the suppression of the order in 1571, it was assigned to the Barnabites.Ponte di San Gerardo
10 minsAdmission Ticket FreeThe complex of St. Gerard-Within-the Walls or St. Gerardino where St. Gerard transformed his house in a hospitalI Giardini della Villa Reale
30 minsAdmission Ticket FreeAn English style garden, the first in Italy, designed by Piermarini in 1778. We are talking about the Royal Gardens of the city of Monza, with trees and meadows, caves, ponds and small waterfalls. Walking through its paths you can also admire a characteristic Doric temple which reflects in the waters of the pond inhabited by swans, turtles, ducks and frogs! Who knows if amongst them is hiding a prince! From the shores of the lake you can see the cave and the statue of Neptune, or cross the "rock garden" to come down towards the large central lawn, admiring the waterfall and small stream. Continuing left along the telescope in front of the villa, you can admire the Cave of Polyphemus, the neo-Gothic walls and the Torretta. But what makes the Royal Gardens exceptionally special are the Green Giants: ancient centuries-old trees such as oaks, cypresses, horse chestnut trees and cedars of Lebanon.
