Here, amid the chaos and fast pace of the metropolis, visitors can escape into a world that seems to exist outside of time and space. This late Baroque-inspired complex consists of the former temple, a unique circular portico around which one can stroll, and a beautiful garden. Over its rich history, the Rotonda has served various functions. Today, it is a beautiful public space, often used for hosting artistic and cultural events, attracting visitors from diverse backgrounds. The name Rotonda della Besana, or more precisely Rotonda di via Besana, comes from the street it is located on.     <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"historia-na-przestrzeni-wiekow\">A Historical Journey<\/h2>\n\n<p>The origins of La Rotonda della Besana date back to the early 18th century. In 1693, the Ca\u2019 Granda chapter of the Milan hospital realized the need to relocate burial sites from within the hospital premises for hygiene reasons. Architect A. Arrigoni was commissioned to design a cemetery in an isolated area of the city, leading to the construction of the church of San Michele ai Nuovi Sepolcri and the completion of the portico in 1732.   <\/p>\n\n<p>Over time, the purpose of La Rotonda underwent several transformations. After 1814, the portico served as a storage space and a depot for contaminated goods. In 1848, during the military occupation, the inner arches were closed, converting the arcade into a stable. It wasn\u2019t until 1858 that the hospital regained possession of the complex, converting it into a chronicarium, isolation ward for contagious diseases, and ultimately a laundry facility. Additionally, the building briefly served as a repository for portraits of the Ca\u2019 Granda\u2019s benefactors.    <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"odrodzenie-jako-przystan-kulturalna\">Rebirth as a Cultural Haven<\/h2>\n\n<p>In 1940, after years of neglect, the Rotonda was handed over to the municipality, which undertook restoration efforts and opened the surrounding spaces as a public park. The church itself became a permanent center for cultural and artistic events. Since the late 1960s, the Rotonda has hosted numerous exhibitions, showcasing diverse genres such as painting, sculpture, graphics, drawing, photography, architecture, comics, video art, and design. Its significance within Milan\u2019s visual culture has cemented its status as a landmark in the city.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"architektura\">Architecture<\/h2>\n\n<p>The Rotonda della Besana is a late Baroque complex featuring the church of San Michele ai Nuovi Sepolcri at its center. Surrounding the church is a long, enclosed portico that borders an inner garden. The church, constructed by Attilio Arrigoni in 1713, exhibits a Greek-cross plan, with arms of equal length. Its exterior exudes simplicity, while the interior captivates with a harmonious arrangement of round arches supported by stone pillars adorned with Ionic order capitals, featuring Baroque iconography elements such as skulls and bones.   <\/p>\n\n<p>The enchanting portico boasts an undulating enclosure, comprising four large porticoed exedras with cross vaults and arches supported by slender white columns. These exedras alternate with smaller ones, creating a captivating rhythm. The brick exterior showcases arches on pilasters, accentuated by windows and oculi. The architecture seamlessly combines grandeur with lightness, allowing ample natural light to permeate the space.   <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"wspolczesna-oaza-spokoju\">A Modern-Day Haven<\/h2>\n\n<p>Today, the Rotonda della Besana stands as a cherished exhibition space and public green area, offering respite from the chaos of urban life. Temporary exhibitions, screenings, and cultural events breathe new life into this architectural gem. Since January 2014, the deconsecrated church has been transformed into MUBA, the children\u2019s museum inspired by the renowned artist Bruno Munari. Here, children engage in playful activities and exhibitions, fostering creative thinking and discovery.    <\/p>\n\n<p>In addition, a <a href=\"\" data-type=\"\" data-id=\"\">Bistrot<\/a> opened its doors in 2015, providing visitors with a unique experience. Immersed in the suggestive ambiance, patrons can enjoy special cocktails while savoring the enchanting surroundings of La Rotonda della Besana.
