The Church of Santa Maria del Carmine is a historic landmark in the heart of Brera. A wonderful example of Lombardy’s Neo- Gothic architecture, it was built on the ruins of the 13th century Chiesa Carmelitana and eventually completed in 1880 by architect Carlo Maciachini. Due to its vicinity to the Sforza Castle and the wealthy historic centre, the church was once largely frequented by the city’s nobility and gentry.
Bistro and cocktail bar, Tibi is a charming romantic corner of Provence offering an intimate ambience. The seasonal drinks list includes an exclusive selection of Pastis, fine wines, Crémants, Champagnes and gin, while the menu features delectable French culinary delights that marry particularly well with an aperitif. The bar is renowned for its famous Gin & Tonic and its African Mule , a legendary version of Moscow Mule.
Home to one of the country’s leading collections of Italian paintings, the Pinacoteca di Brera displays masterpieces spanning from the 13 th to the 20 th century. Originally set up in 1776 to display works for students of the adjacent Accademia di Belle Arti , the Pinacoteca was officially founded as an art gallery in 1809 to store works looted from French- occupied Italy during the reign of Napoleone Bonaparte.

Hidden City CONCA DELL’INCORONATA
Founded by Maria Theresa of Austria in 1775, Brera’s Botanical Garden is a quiet verdant oasis in Milan’s bustling city centre.

The garden aims to safeguard biodiversity and protect rare species. In 2005, the region of Lombardy officially recognised it as a museum.

Built in 1496 during the time of Duke Ludovico il Moro, this historic lock was studied by Leonardo Da Vinci. It was once known as Conca delle Gabelle , as it was here that people were required to pay ‘gabelle’, taxes on goods and people.
