croisbeauty Says: Santa Maria del Carrobiolo was built from 1232 up to 1260, but not many of its original aspect was preserved, except for the abside and the bell tower. During centuries it was reconstructed several times but the biggest reconstruction work was done in the 16th century. The...

croisbeauty Says: It is quite unusual name for the tower, named after the street where it is situated.The Tower in Lambro Street, even tall and massive in its construction, cannot be seen from the distance because the new structure of the town absorbed it completely. In fact, you can find it...

Years ago I used to visit Monza very often, at least two or three times during the year, and it had last for over a decade. I remember Monza as a quiet little town where nothing happened during the nights. Most of the locals went out in the restaurants or just to take a walk before going to sleep.
In this year I've visited Monza twice and found it the same as it was before. Regarding nightlife, most of the locals are going into the nearby Milano (only 15 minute by car).
This cafe-bar is situated right in the heart of the town, opposite to Arengario, and it is my favourite place to have a fine glass of wine before sleeping time.

10 euros is a definite tourist trap, taking advantage of people's racing passion! At the same time, the ticket to learn about the history of the place and see the iron crown is only 1 euro!

croisbeauty Says: Never heard of Mozzanico before but when approaching to it I saw a kind of tall medieval tower and have decided to explore it. I found this village very pitoresque, in particularly colourful local houses situated along the banks of an small river.
croisbeauty Says: There is a flat ground in between Mozzanico and Calcio and the monumental church of San Vittore Martire can be seen from the very far distance. The church is of very huge proportions and virtually dominates the whole landscape.The small town, where the church is situated, is...
croisbeauty Says: The Lion Bridge is a kind of emblem of the town. It was built on the site where once Roman bridge stood, a remainings of which can be seen on the other side of the river bank. The monumental white-stone bridge is characteristic for its four lion statues.
croisbeauty Says: Unfortunatelly, not much of the medieval Monza have survived. The city walls were pulled down completely and only a traces of it can be seen. As a matter of fact, Monza is one of the very few Italian cities in which the compact historic centre do not exsist.This one is the...

The first thing that comes to one's mind when hearing about Monza is probably the Formula 1 races. But Monza is so much more than that. Its glitter is cast in a shadow thanks to the races, but...
Monza is north Italian city which I used to visit very often in the past times. In fact, I had strong business relationships here with an very famous producer of the ski-garmets. During that period,...
Monza was great. I spent about 5 days in a great little hotel, Hotel Royale Falcone, near the pedestrian mall.
We go to Monza every September to go clothes shopping. It is also a gret base for visiting Milan where we also spend a day. Why Monza? It has a lot of what Milan has to offer just on a smaller scale....
