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.

Handsome

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.

It features eclectic-style decorations. The main façade includes white and gray marble and elements from the demolished church of Santa Maria di Brera in Milan. It is located on a natural hill. It is one of the many farmhouses in Monza Park.

The Royal Villa's pond features a system of water features that dates back to the Habsburg era, when the Swan Lake was created in the Royal Gardens between 1778 and 1783, designed by Piermarini himself. Along with all the scenic elements characteristic of the English garden created for the palace commissioned by Maria Theresa of Austria, such as the neoclassical temple, the grotto with the statue of Neptune, and the so-called swan house, the artificial pond also featured a hydraulic system to create jets and water effects, which has now been inoperative for decades.
