He created an amphitheatre in an elliptical shape that could seat up to 30,000 spectators. The 238 x 116 metre arena was built from materials taken from the fortifications of the castello, which had been cut down shortly before. After almost 2 years of construction, the arena was inaugurated in 1807 with a water battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vonortzuort.reisen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/panorama1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/vonortzuort.reisen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/panorama1.jpg\" alt=\"Parco Sempione \" class=\"wp-image-5347\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The arena was used almost exclusively for sporting competitions. Even water competitions and ice skating events could be held inside. The arena was flooded for this purpose.<br>The football club FC Inter used the Arena Civica as its home stadium at the beginning of the 20th century.<br>Today, football matches, cycling races and the home games of the rugby club Amatori Rugby Milano are still played here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vonortzuort.reisen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/eingangd.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/vonortzuort.reisen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/eingangd.jpg\" alt=\"Parco Sempione Arena\" class=\"wp-image-5348\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When we walked past the arena, I was a bit disappointed. It looks very run down. Normally you can&#8217;t get into the stadium either. We were lucky and the entrance gate was open. Despite the barrier, we slipped through briefly and were able to get an impression of the interior. Here, too, time has left clear traces, but nevertheless I can imagine that the atmosphere at sporting events must be brilliant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vonortzuort.reisen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/von-aussen.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/vonortzuort.reisen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/von-aussen.jpg\" alt=\"Parco Sempione altes Fu\u00dfballstadion\" class=\"wp-image-5349\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Acquario Civico<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On the occasion of the 1906 World&#8217;s Fair, the Acquario Civico marine museum building was erected as a pavilion in Parco Sempione.<br>It has been used as an aquarium since 1908 and is the third oldest aquarium in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery alignwide columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/vonortzuort.reisen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/haupteingang-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Parco Sempione - Aquarium\" data-id=\"5351\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/vonortzuort.reisen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/haupteingang.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/vonortzuort.reisen\/italien\/mailand\/im-parco-sempione\/attachment\/if-214\/\" class=\"wp-image-5351\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/vonortzuort.reisen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/nilpferdbrunnen-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Acquario civico Mailand\" data-id=\"5352\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/vonortzuort.reisen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/nilpferdbrunnen.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/vonortzuort.reisen\/italien\/mailand\/im-parco-sempione\/attachment\/if-215\/\" class=\"wp-image-5352\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The opening hours and admission prices can be found on the aquarium&#8217;s website. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acquariodimilano.it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Webseite des Aquariums <\/a>nachlesen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vonortzuort.reisen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/hintergrund1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/vonortzuort.reisen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/hintergrund1.jpg\" alt=\"Mailand\" class=\"wp-image-5353\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We took a look at the building from the outside.

Those who would like to enjoy the view over the park can take the lift up to 97 metres.<br>The tower was built on the occasion of the 5th Triennale in Milan in 1933.
