The Ponte di San Rocco in Vimercate is the only intact example in Lombardy of a fortified medieval bridge, located at the end of the ancient decumanus (the current Via Cavour). The original structure dates back to Roman times, inserted along the main road axis. It is a "donkey's back" bridge with four arches, 28.50 meters long and about 4.5 meters wide, built of stone with blocks of ceppo and serizzo. In the Middle Ages, it was fortified and transformed into a tower-gate (the only surviving one of the seven original gates of Vimercate's city walls).

Il Vicolo dei Lavandai is one of the most famous and characteristic historic corners of Milan, located along the Naviglio Grande (at number 14 Alzaia Naviglio Grande). It takes its name from the public wash house where workers – originally organized in an all-male association in the 19th century – used to wash clothes and linen on behalf of Milanese families. Only later was the activity also carried out by women. The "Brellin": The washermen used an original marble support and a slanted wooden board called "brellin", useful for kneeling and rubbing clothes with "palton" (a paste based on ash, soap, and soda). Today the name survives in the famous restaurant El Brellin overlooking the alley.

The Church of San Materno Vescovo in Comazzo, an imposing 18th-century building, represents a significant example of Baroque religious architecture, enriched with Rococo details. The interior of the church is decorated with Rococo-style frescoes that, despite recent restorations, retain their grace and elegance intact, characterizing the atmosphere of spirituality and devotion that permeates the space. The church's facade is plastered with elegant exposed stone profiles. The portal, a solemn architectural element, is preceded by a porch that emphasizes its importance and access. Above the portal, a large lunette houses a rectangular window that allows light to filter inside, giving luminosity to the building. The crowning of the facade is marked by a triangular pediment, which adds a sense of balance and majesty to the composition. The bell tower, quadrangular and made of exposed stone, stands solemnly next to the church.

Work in the fields has been immortalized as a work of art through classical painting, land art, and the Asian tradition of rice paddy art.

The bridge over the Muzza Canal, located in Lavagna (a hamlet of the municipality of Comazzo in the province of Lodi), is a historical landmark for crossing this ancient artificial waterway. The Muzza is a branch of the Adda river, known for being one of the oldest canals in Europe. Lavagna Lodigiana is a small rural village immersed in the countryside that develops right next to the canal. The bridge area is frequented by cyclists and hikers who travel along the Muzza cycle path or the Muzza-Ponte di Lavagna route, enjoying the river landscape.

The Muzza Canal is one of the most important and oldest hydraulic engineering works in Europe. It is a large artificial branch of the Adda river that crosses the Lombard plain. For centuries, it has represented the main resource for irrigating the lands of the province of Lodi and southern Milan. It originates in Cassano d'Adda (Milan), drawing water directly from the Adda near the Visconti castle. It ends its course after about 39-40 kilometers (over 60 km considering the entire main network), rejoining the Adda at Castiglione d'Adda (Lodi).
