Holiday apartment in Rozzano between nature and culture

Rozzano combines protected nature, parkland and culture to create a diverse destination for different travel interests. The range extends from natural landscapes to the astronomical observatory and the libraries in the Cascina Grande cultural centre.

Nature reserves and parkland

The Oasi dello Smeraldino is a nature reserve. In addition, in 2007 it became a Punto Parco of the Parco Agricolo Sud Milano. This gives your stay a clear focus on nature, distinct from Rozzano's cultural highlights. The reference to 2007 is relevant to its classification as a Punto Parco.

The Parco delle Rogge covers a total area of approximately 34.6 hectares. A new wetland was created in the park, while paths for cycling and walking were built with footbridges. The park area thus combines paths with footbridges and a created wetland within a shared landscape of the Parco delle Rogge. This combination of a larger park area, wetland and purpose-built paths adds an active nature element to your travel plans without requiring you to dedicate the day to a single activity. The paths with footbridges are therefore a specific feature of the park for walks or cycling tours.

Educational visits are organised at the Oasi La Sorgiva. For families who want to combine different age groups and interests during one stay, this focus can provide an additional idea for planning the day. The Oasi La Sorgiva is explicitly associated with organised educational visits.

Observatory and libraries

The municipal astronomical observatory was inaugurated on 27 May 2023 in the outdoor area of the Cascina Grande cultural centre. Its dome has a diameter of just under 7 metres and a flower-shaped opening. In addition to the inauguration date, the dome's structural description is defined by its size of just under 7 metres and its flower-shaped opening.

The Cascina Grande cultural centre houses adult and children's libraries, providing access to reading, information and knowledge. Alongside nature and astronomy, this offers a cultural focus for travellers who want to enrich their stay with content and discoveries. The libraries and the observatory's outdoor area are therefore located in the same cultural centre. Reading, information and knowledge are explicitly represented there alongside the astronomical theme.
