In an area close to the city centre, the international and cosmopolitan atmosphere embraces the one of the Milan of the past with its banister houses and historical workshops. It was originally a religious district, with its beautiful churches and libraries; then it became a popular and chic place, meant for the principal cultural institutions at the same time; and nowadays it represents the Milan of transformation and sustainability with its iconic skyscrapers, like the Unicredit one, the Bosco Verticale one, the Fondazione Feltrinelli, the Unipol Tower and new parks.
