Guided Tours of the former Mombello Asylum

A Place Suspended in Time

In the hamlet of Mombello, in Limbiate (province of Monza and Brianza), stands the former Mombello Psychiatric Hospital, also known as the Mombello Asylum: an enormous complex, one of the largest of its kind in Europe, today largely disused and shrouded in a unique atmosphere of silence, decay, and memory.

Lombardia Segreta's Guided Tours

The association Lombardia Segreta is organizing a packed calendar of guided tours throughout 2026, taking participants to discover the complex. During the tour, lasting about 90 minutes, guides will recount the hospital's history, its functions, its architecture, and above all, the human stories that marked its existence.

Between History and Atmosphere

The visit is not just an exploration tour; it's an opportunity to reflect on the history of Italian psychiatry and the fate of places like this. The evocative atmosphere of the environments, combined with the historical narrative, makes the experience engaging and at times moving, suitable for an adult audience interested in heritage and places of memory.

A Recurring Calendar

The tours are repeated on multiple dates throughout the year, with appointments scheduled from winter to spring. Mombello is also the subject of parallel educational initiatives, such as evening talks on the complex's history, indicating a growing attention towards this extraordinary piece of forgotten heritage in the Limbiate area.
