Parco delle Cave

  Parco delle Cave sits at the edge of Milan, close to the quaint neighborhood of Quinto Romano. This expansive park, established in the early 2000s, transformed former gravel extraction sites into a thriving natural reserve, emphasizing environmental restoration. Spanning approximately 92 hectares, it features a network of lakes and ponds that provide habitats for over 150 bird species. Visiting in April often reveals vibrant blooms of wildflowers, making it a picturesque backdrop for a leisurely stroll or a relaxing picnic. You'll find various walking paths intertwined with lush greenery, perfect for observing local flora and fauna while enjoying a break from the city's hustle.
