Discover Magnago: Nature, History and Festivals

Magnago amid forests, paths and history

Magnago combines a wooded landscape, a nature trail for cyclists and pedestrians, and notable historical architectural and cultural heritage. There are also two festivals held on specific dates during the year. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Magnago, this allows you to take different interests into account when planning your trip: active routes, nature, local history and festive events exist side by side, without requiring you to limit your stay to just one focus.

Woodland landscape in the Parco delle Roggie

The Parco delle Roggie extends across approximately 513 hectares in the areas of Magnago, Arconate and Dairago. More than 60 percent of the park is wooded; most of these woodland areas are located in the Magnago area. As a result, the natural environment has a particularly strong influence on the way the town is perceived. If you choose accommodation with a focus on nature for your trip, this park is one of the most important landscape features that characterise Magnago.

Cycling and walking routes with clearly defined stages

The nature trail through the Parco delle Roggie crosses forests and cultivated fields. Another nature trail for cyclists and pedestrians begins on Via Picasso in Magnago and ends at the Alzaia Canale Villoresi near Via Gramsci in Buscate. It is 8.9 km long. The different landscape features and the clearly defined starting and end points provide a concrete basis if you want to combine active days with a suitable choice of location and holiday apartment.

Historical details in Magnago

The present-day building of the Casa Parrocchiale in Magnago dates from the first half of the 18th century. Two historic sundials have been preserved on the façade facing the garden. The Casa Parrocchiale has also been recognised by the Soprintendenza ai Monumenti as being of historical and artistic value. For travellers interested in culture, the appeal lies in the visible details: the period of construction, the façade decoration and the special recognition all form part of the history of this building.

The Chiesetta di San Martino can be traced back to the end of the 13th century. The parish church of San Michele Arcangelo in Magnago also contains a chapel dedicated to Saint Eurosia. The Via Traversagna is likewise an ancient road from Roman times that connected the Olona and Ticino rivers. These historical themes therefore range from religious buildings to an old connection between two rivers and appeal to different interests, without requiring you to focus on a single era.

Festivals in spring and autumn

The Fiera primaverile takes place on the last Sunday in March in the streets and squares of Magnago. The Fiera autunnale Festa Patronale di San Michele also takes place in the streets and squares of Magnago, on the last Monday in September. If you would like to plan your trip around a local festival, these two dates offer a clear seasonal connection. The railway connection is also part of the townscape: Magnago is located on the railway network of Ferrovie Nord Milano. When choosing a holiday apartment in Magnago, you can weigh this mobility aspect against your interests in nature, culture or events.
