FAI Guided Tours of the Cremona Campus
Giornate FAI Itineraries
For the first time, it will be possible to visit the new campus of the Politecnico di Milano, located in the former Manfredini barracks near Porta Po, at the western edge of the historic city center. The area has a centuries-old history: in the 14th century, it was home to the palace of Count Covo, which was transformed into a convent in 1407 and expanded in 1575 with a cloister and a church dedicated to the Holy Annunciation. Following the suppression of religious orders, the French converted it into a barracks in 1798—a function it retained until the complex was closed in 2011, after centuries of renovations and expansions.
The building still preserves parts of the monastery and 19th-century military structures, including courtyards, cloisters, remnants of the church, masonry vaults, and the main staircase with a stone balcony. To the north and west, the extensions built for dormitories, offices, and services remain intact.
Following the completion of the extensive restoration project—funded by the Arvedi Buschini Foundation in collaboration with the Politecnico di Milano—exclusive access will be granted to the complex, including the ancient monastery spaces, military offices, and newly constructed buildings intended for classrooms.
The opening will also offer the opportunity to explore research facilities in the fields of Music and Acoustic Engineering and Agricultural Engineering, two areas of excellence at the Politecnico.
Open on Saturday and Sunday: 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with continuous entry every 20 minutes, maximum 30 people per slot.
