World Heritage and industrial history

Crespi d’Adda has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1995. The workers’ settlement was founded in 1877 by Cristoforo Crespi next to his textile industry. Its foundation points to the connection between the history of the settlement and industrial development.

Family experiences at Leolandia

The Adda landscape and Penisola di San Gervasio

Capriate San Gervasio is one of the municipalities in the Parco Adda Nord regional park. The Penisola di San Gervasio is almost completely surrounded by the Adda River and has traditionally been divided into the areas of Cava degli Spagnoli and Isolette. It can be reached on foot or by bicycle via natural paths; by car, main roads lead there from the centre of Capriate San Gervasio. Settlement remains from the Golasecca culture, dating from the 7th to the 5th century BC, have been identified on the Penisola di San Gervasio. The landscape can therefore be explored in different ways depending on your chosen mode of transport.

Paths between the riverbank and Crespi d’Adda

The Da Leonardo all’UNESCO route connects riverside paths along the river between Imbersago and the workers’ settlement of Crespi d’Adda. The section of the route in Capriate runs from Funtanì to Cava degli Spagnoli, passing the pebble beach of Cavalla, and continues to Crespi d’Adda. This gives you riverside paths and a historic site along one continuous route for your planning.

Discoveries of cultural history

The cemetery of Crespi d’Adda was laid out between 1905 and 1908 based on a design by Gaetano Moretti. The first Chiesa di San Siro was built in the 12th century on a site that had previously been a necropolis. The Chiesa di San Siro is a Romanesque church with an open portico supported by arches. The Cappella Morali is a funerary monument of exceptional historical and artistic value. The Romanesque church and the funerary monument create different architectural focal points.
