L'Alzaia del Naviglio di Bereguardo is the historic towpath, today transformed into a splendid cycle-pedestrian path of about 19 kilometers, which runs along the artificial canal of the same name. It connects Castelletto di Abbiategrasso (where the canal originates, branching off from the Naviglio Grande) to the municipality of Bereguardo, finally flowing into the Ticino river. Built in the 15th century at the behest of the Dukes of Milan (the Visconti first, then the Sforza), the canal served as a fundamental commercial route (particularly for salt and cheeses) to connect the city to the Po river and the sea.
