Parco Sempione is Milan’s great urban oasis, a vast nineteenth‑century park created in 1893 on the former military parade grounds beside Castello Sforzesco. Designed by Emilio Alemagna, it follows the style of English landscaped gardens, with winding paths, open lawns and shaded groves that frame views of the castle and the Arco della Pace. Covering 386,000 square metres, the park is home to rich plant life, small lakes and several cultural landmarks, including the striking Torre Branca and the Triennale design museumIntroducing Milan. Its central location makes it a favourite retreat for locals, who come to jog, cycle, relax on the grass or wander between monuments. Parco Sempione remains Milan’s green heart, a place where history, leisure and nature blend seamlessly in the middle of the city.
