The Crespi d'Adda Workers' Village is an exceptionally well-preserved historic company town, built starting in 1877 by the Crespi family for the workers of their cotton mill. The town center is considered the finest example of a company town in Southern Europe for its conception of an "ideal city," where workers had all the necessary services, including single-family homes and social facilities. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that the houses are still inhabited. Due to its importance, it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995.

Don't miss it if you're in the Crespi area, just a stone's throw from Trezzo sull'Adda. It was once a textile factory, built with an innovative entrepreneurial concept. The workers' homes have now been privatized and inhabited. The internal alleys are open to the public. The factory itself can be visited with guides.
