Indulge in an unparalleled exploration of ancientRomanMilan, narrating the extraordinary heritage of “Mediolanum“. As you walk, unlock the origins of Milan, dating back to a Celtic population before it was conquered by Roman legions. From then on, such a humble settlement went down into history as Mediolanum.
Despite today’s industrialisation, the city still offers incredible and valuable evidence of a glorious past awaiting exploration. You will discover both famous and hiddenplaces through the lenses of ancient Roman times, suggesting a beautiful contrast between the old Mediolanum and modernMilan.
We recommend verifying the opening hours of points of interest as schedules can vary slightly throughout the year. This itinerary is designed to offer visitors an engaging narrative and the opportunity to appreciate locations associated with Roman history, even from the exterior.

Very interesting, beautiful and curious to see the city on your own, it is a route that takes you to see hidden remains that I would never have been able to find on my own. Highly recommended! 😊
