Parco Sempione in Milan, a vast green lung a few steps from the historic center, dotted with sculptures and architecture, is one of the most loved places by Milanese and tourists who stay in the city.
The Sempione Park is not only a place for beautiful walks and outdoor activities, but it is also rich in history and art, legends and traditions. Located behind the Castello Sforzesco , where the ancient Piazza d'Armi once stood, Parco Sempione was built at the end of the 19th century based on a project by the architect Emilio Alemagna , who conceived it according to the principles of the English garden.
It soon became famous for hosting the Universal Exposition of 1906 , and preserves traces of the glorious past of the area, from the Civic Aquarium , built for the Expo in Art Nouveau style, to the Palazzo della Triennale , designed by Giovanni Muzio in full Fascism, to the Torre Branca , once called Torre Littoria, designed by Gio 'Ponti, today climbing to the top you can enjoy a spectacular view of the park and the city.
At the end of the park you can admire the Arco della Pace , a wonderful example of neoclassical style, the result of a long gestation that saw it finished only in the years of the Restoration., While at the opposite end with respect to the Palazzo dell'Arte or Triennale, find the so-called Arena , an elliptical neoclassical amphitheater, built by Napoleon and the protagonist of games, parades, naumachias and sporting events. The park area is scattered with sculptures of considerable artistic value, including the famous " Mysterious Baths " by Giorgio de Chirico and the " Ghidini Sisters ", beautiful female figures in cast iron, hence the name, which once decorated the " Ponte delle Sirenette ”on the internal canal.
A fantastic excursion in the most famous park in Milan, to discover its secrets!
