The Church of San Cristoforo sul Naviglio is one of Milan's most evocative and historic corners. Located directly on the alzaia of the Naviglio Grande, it is famous for being a rare "double church" formed by two small religious buildings side-by-side, unified in the 17th century. The Left Church (Romanesque): It is the oldest structure, rebuilt in 1192 on a previous chapel and remodeled in the 14th century. It served as a stopping point and protection for pilgrims and travelers entering Milan by water. The Right Church (Ducal Chapel): It was erected at the end of the 14th century at the behest of Duke Gian Galeazzo Visconti as an ex voto for the end of a violent plague epidemic. On the facade, the Visconti coats of arms with the famous biscione can be seen. In 1625, the two interiors were joined by demolishing the dividing wall and opening two large arches. The fifteenth-century bell tower is historically nicknamed "the Meneghino lighthouse".

The Fontana di Piazza Castello, affectionately called "turta di spus" (wedding cake) by Milanese people for its shape, is located right in front of the Filarete Tower of the Sforzesco Castle. Initially built in 1936, it features a circular layout in Vicenza stone with cascading basins and spouts.

The Church of San Cristoforo sul Naviglio is one of Milan's most evocative corners, located directly on the towpath of the Naviglio Grande. This ancient monumental complex is famous for its unique "double church" configuration, formed by two adjacent buildings unified internally.

San Cristoforo is a charming complex consisting of two small churches side by side. Ancient accounts attest to the Milanese people’s affection for this church, which was originally a simple chapel covered by a gabled roof. It even seems that it was in this very little church, in 1176, that the Milanese received the first news of Emperor Frederick Barbarossa’s defeat at Legnano by the Lombard League. The church (which must have corresponded roughly to the current left aisle) was rebuilt in 1192 and extensively remodeled in the 14th century. https://www.chiesasancristoforo.it/proposta-culturale/storia/

The church of Santa Maria delle Grazie al Naviglio is a Catholic place of worship located along Alzaia Naviglio Grande 34, in the heart of the Porta Genova district in Milan. Often confused with the more famous Santa Maria delle Grazie (which houses Leonardo's Last Supper), this church stands out for its striking brick facade, which remained unfinished for financial reasons, giving it a rustic and unique appearance in the Navigli landscape.

The Ikeda Cultural Center for Peace (also known as Kaikan) is the Milanese headquarters of the Italian Buddhist Institute Soka Gakkai. Located in Corsico, along the Naviglio Grande, it is considered the largest Buddhist center in Europe.

It is located in the western part of the city, surrounded by the districts of Baggio, Sella Nuova, Quarto Cagnino and Quinto Romano, and is characterized by four reservoirs, a pond, forests, watercourses, urban gardens, an agricultural area with Marcit and the Linterno farmstead.
