Full description

Rotonda della Besana began as a cemetery and today is a calm public park, centred on an 18th-century church surrounded by a circular porticoed walkway. Despite being close to the downtown area, reviewers note that it is rarely busy, making it a pleasant place to sit, meet friends or relax between sights.

There is a cafe on site, though some visitors found the upkeep uneven. Entry is free and the grounds are open from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM, so it fits easily into almost any part of a day.

A typical visit lasts around 20 minutes.

Reviews

This is a quiet little spot in the downtown area of Milan. It is a nice place to relax and catch up with friends. Despite its central location, the place is rarely busy. There is a nice cafe/restuarant and a museum
