It is a complex of buildings enclosed by a wall, the historic block of which extends in a U-shape along the east-west axis. Despite neglect and numerous changes in use, which have led to extensive renovations, the interior still retains highly valuable spaces, with stuccoed and frescoed rooms depicting architectural motifs and mythological episodes, vaulted ceilings, generally pavilion-shaped masonry, or false reed vaults, or wooden coffered ceilings.

Villa Mirabello, a wonderful example of 17th-century architecture and residence, was built in the mid-17th century by the Durini family, who had purchased the fiefdom of Monza in 1648. The Durinis built a beautiful villa, with large halls for parties and receptions, named "Mirabello." Its U-shaped structure, open to the river landscape and featuring a courtyard, is of great structural significance, as it marks the transition from the typology of the walled country palace, typical of the 15th and 16th centuries, to the new concept of the palace-villa opening onto a scenic garden or park.

A group of buildings enclosed by a wall, the historic block of which extends in a U-shape along an east-west axis. Despite neglect and numerous changes in use, which have led to extensive renovations, the interior remains highly valuable, with stuccoed and frescoed rooms featuring architectural motifs and mythological scenes, vaulted ceilings, generally hipped masonry, or false reed vaults, or wooden coffered ceilings. The walls are masonry, and the floors, partly renovated and partly original, are made of terracotta tiles. The pitched roof has a truss structure and tile covering. The rustic courtyards have a U-shape (to the north) and an L-shape (to the south) with brick perimeter walls and wooden floors. The "Santa Maria Equestrian Center" is characterized by an L-shaped layout with brick walls and a four-pitched tile roof. The "Monza polo club" is made up of two buildings that form a "T", with perimeter brick walls.
