Sforza Castle Connection
Parco Sempione was designed in the late 19th century to provide a scenic backdrop and green space for the Sforza Castle (Castello Sforzesco), creating a visual and spatial connection between the historical landmark and the city.
Garden Style
Unlike the formal, symmetrical gardens often found in Italy, Parco Sempione was designed in the style of an English landscape garden, featuring winding paths, naturalistic plantings, and open lawns.
Historical Stadium
The park is home to the Arena Civica, a neoclassical stadium built in the early 19th century. It has hosted various events, including sporting competitions and even Buffalo Bill's Wild West show.
Arco della Pace
At the park's northern edge stands the Arco della Pace (Arch of Peace), a triumphal arch that marks the beginning of the road to Paris. Construction began under Napoleon but was completed under Austrian rule, with its dedication changed to celebrate European peace.
