The Columns of San Lorenzo

The Antique Market

A regular event on the last Sunday of every month: stalls line the banks, creating an almost floating market where you can find that vintage piece of furniture you’ve been looking for, a unique accessory, or a rare out-of-print book.

Tortona District and MUDEC

Along Via Tortona and Via Savona, within an industrial archaeology landscape, you’ll find a succession of designer ateliers, stylist showrooms, lounge bars, and trendy restaurants.

MUDEC has earned its place as the definitive cultural hub of the Tortona district. Just a few hundred meters from the Navigli, its unique building houses Milan’s ethno-anthropological heritage and hosts various exhibitions.
