Brief history

The Park has fulfilled the essential function of safeguarding areas of high environmental value against the processes of urbanisation and industrialisation. Today, with its infrastructures and services, the Park has been transformed, making the territory more liveable and taking on a specific role also in spreading information about environmental values.

Historic monuments

The high level of anthropization of the territory for farming has left a strong impact on the Park environment. Particularly important in this sense are the 31 mills located in the territory to the north of the Lambro. These structures are monitored by the Ethnological Museum of Monza and Brianza. The complex formed by the Rotonda, Villa Crivelli and Santa Maria della Noce is of monumental interest.

Environment and Fauna

There are woods of robinia, hornbeam, common oak, alder and ash, especially along the rio Pegorino. Bird life is characterised by a wide variety of species.
