Milan’s Bagni Misteriosi
Set like a gem among Porta Romana’s historic buildings, this is one of Milan’s best-kept secrets. The name itself, so singular and resonant, evokes a sense of enigma, of hidden stories and meanings to explore.
The baths share their sobriquet with a work of art, the famous sculptural installation by great 20th-century master Giorgio De Chirico, now in the Triennale gardens overlooking Sempione Park. The baths are a revamped version of the Caimi, a popular family swimming pool in classic 1930s style that closed its doors in 2007. It’s now a multifaceted complex with two pools and a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces, a magical place that seems to reinvent itself according to the season and even the time of day!
