Monza Essentials

Monza combines royal heritage with world-class motorsport. The 18th-century Neoclassical Royal Villa and its expansive walled park—one of Europe’s largest—anchor the city’s green space. Within the historic center, the 13th-century Arengario and the Duomo di Monza stand as architectural landmarks, the latter housing the legendary Iron Crown of Lombardy. The city is also home to the Monza Circuit, the oldest purpose-built racing track in mainland Europe and a permanent fixture on the Formula 1 calendar.
