Parco Sempione, Urban park in central Milan, Italy
The expansive 47-hectare park features walking paths, ponds, and green spaces between Castello Sforzesco and Arco della Pace monuments.
Established in 1893 on former military parade grounds, the park replaced an ancient ducal hunting reserve that belonged to the Visconti and Sforza families.
The park houses prominent cultural institutions, including the Triennale design museum, Arena Civica theater, and Milan Civic Aquarium within its boundaries.
The park opens from 6:30 AM with varying closing times throughout the year, extending until 23:30 during summer months from June to September.
Two botanical trails within the park allow visitors to identify fifty different plant species through guided markers and educational signage.
