Places to see in ( Monza - Italy ) Monza is a city just northeast of Milan, in northern Italy. Monza Cathedral, with a 16th-century bell tower, houses the frescoed Teodolinda Chapel. The neoclassical Royal Villa of Monza, a grand estate with English landscape gardens, sits on the edge of sprawling Monza Park. Crossed by the River Lambro, this walled park also encompasses a former hunting reserve and the 1922 Autodromo Nazionale, a Formula 1 racetrack. Monza is in Lombardy, 15km North-East from Milan. It is the capital of the Province of Monza and Brianza. Monza is well connected with Milan by train (from Garibaldi and Centrale stations) and by ATM bus line 723, 724, 722. Both train and buses arrive very close to city centre. To come to Monza by car from east or west you should take A4 highway (Turin-Milan-Venice) and exit "Monza", from north the Milan-Lecco expressway (ss36) which ends in the town. From south you'd better take Milan's "tangenziale nord", which starts from "tangenziale est" and then Monza exit. The City centre is a pedestrian-only shopping zone, with several high-budget shops side-by-side with international brand flagship stores. The Duomo, known also as "Cathedral of San Giovanni Battista", buildt in 595 and then modified in 13th and 14th century. The frescoed Chapel of Theodelinda houses the Iron Crown of Lombardy, supposed to contain one of the nails used at the Crucifixion. The Parco di Monza (Monza Park) is the largest enclosed park in Europe, established in 1806 is now part of Lambro Valley Natural Reserve. The Autodromo Nazionale (national circuit) is where the Formula 1 Grand Prix take place. During non-race days is available for visitors to race on track. The Villa Reale (royal villa), built between 1777 and 1780 by will of empress Marie-Therese of Austria, is a country palace very similar to Schoenbrunn in Vienna. Currently, it is being renewed, so only a small part of the marvelous royal apartment is open for visitors. When people think of Monza, they more than likely think of the famous Formula 1 Grand Prix that is held here on an annual basis – this delightful city has so much more to offer however and is a great tourist destination in its own right. Monza is actually located 9 miles to the North East of Milan and is the capital of the province of Monza and Brianza with a population of approximately 120,000. Roman findings have dated settlements in Monza as far back as the 3rd Century BC, and since that time the city has served an important role in Italian history. Monza was actually used as a summer residence of the queens of Lombardy and was also used periodically as a military headquarters. Throughout the Middle Ages, the city was embroiled in various factional feuds, and in modern times, the city became a centre of economy and industry. Whilst many may believe Milan eclipses this smaller city, Monza should definitely not be dismissed – it has some absolutely sublime historical architecture such as the Cathedral and the Leoni Bridge, but it also features the immense Parco di Monza and of course the famous Formula 1 Autodromo.
