Lgnano Castle, the starting point of the Olona Greenway.

Built in the 14th century as a hunting lodge.

Built on a hill, it was part of the northern defensive line of the Duchy of Milan

In the municipality of Castiglione Olona, the Monteruzzo castle stands out for its white profile and its imposing towers. Being located in an elevated position, it is clearly visible from afar and today houses the civic library. Furthermore, it is often used as a center for fairs and events.

Decentralized from the town centre, now a hamlet of Sumirago, the castle was built in the 14th century as a home for hunting activities. It has a massive quadrangular structure, with a central courtyard and a sturdy square tower overlooking the valley. The transformations of the 17th century converted the castle into a residential villa, while maintaining some features of the origins. The park, built in the 18th century in the English garden style, is home to three farmhouses.

The construction of the Jerago castle dates back to the early 13th century and is inextricably linked to the Visconti family of Jerago. This fortress was part of the northern defense line of the Duchy of Milan. In the 18th century, the fortress was converted into a residence.

In the frescoed rooms of the fourteenth-century Palazzo dei Castiglioni in Monteruzzo, there is the Plastic Arts Museum, which exhibits an original collection of around fifty plastic works created in the 1970s by some of the most popular international artists of the post-war period (Carla Accardi, Enrico Baj, Giacomo Balla, Man Ray...). The MAP constitutes one of the most interesting results of the meeting between art and industry and is the first museum in Italy dedicated to works of art in multi-material materials.

Scenic castle, beautiful park around
