Verborgen parels in Milaan

Hidden Gems of Milan

Milan's lesser-known landmarks range from the artistic tombs of the Monumental Cemetery to the macabre beauty of San Bernardino alle Ossa’s bone-lined chapel. Modern architectural feats like Cesar Pelli’s Gae Aulenti Square contrast with the historic 16th-century Villa Litta and its elaborate gardens. The list also features Leonardo’s Horse, a monumental bronze sculpture based on Da Vinci’s original designs, and the eclectic 10 Corso Como, a hub for high-end fashion, art, and design.
