Parco Monluè, Urban park in eastern Milan, Italy
Monluè Park is an open space in eastern Milan situated between the Lambro River and the outer ring road, with meadows, wooded areas, and rows of poplar trees. The grounds include two soccer fields and provide room for walking, running, cycling, and outdoor recreation throughout the day.
The grounds originated from a Cistercian monastic center founded in 1200 by the Humiliati of Santa Maria di Brera. The site later became municipal property and was eventually developed into a public park.
The park holds the Romanesque-Gothic Church of San Lorenzo, which stands alongside old farm buildings that show how rural communities were organized in this region.
The park remains open throughout the day and is easily accessible for walking, cycling, or jogging. The relatively flat terrain makes it simple to explore all areas without difficulty.
The park's name comes from the medieval term 'mons luparium,' which refers to wolves that once roamed this area. This historical naming has evolved through centuries to become Monluè.
