Modern church architecture and special use of light

The Chiesa di Nostra Signora della Misericordia is one of the most significant examples of modern church architecture in the Ambrosian Diocese. It was built from 1956 to 1957 to designs by Angelo Mangiarotti, Bruno Morassutti and Aldo Favini.

The Chiesa di Nostra Signora della Misericordia has step-free access from Via Conciliazione; parking is also available nearby.

At the Church of Glass, the design concept makes use of the changing light over the course of the day and year as it falls on the transparent, luminous surfaces of the building components. This aspect is particularly appealing if you are interested in the interplay of materials, light and architectural design.

Green spaces and cycle paths in Parco Lineare

The cycle-path system connected with Parco Lineare extends to the municipalities of Bollate and Novate Milanese. This means you can consider the park both as a green space and as a specific part of your cycling and excursion plans.
