  • Castello Visconteo: The Castello Visconteo dominates the Adda River from a rocky outcrop and dates back to the 14th century. Though partially in ruins, the castle retains its tower and fortifications, offering panoramic views over the river and surrounding countryside. Visitors can explore the grounds and learn about the site's role in regional power struggles during the Middle Ages.
  • Centrale Idroelettrica Taccani: This hydroelectric power station, built in the early 20th century, is a rare example of industrial architecture harmoniously integrated with its natural surroundings. Still in operation, the Centrale Taccani features Art Nouveau details and guided tours are available, providing insight into the early days of hydroelectric innovation in Italy.

The route is ideal for walking or cycling and offers views of historic canals, locks, and bridges, some of which were studied by Leonardo da Vinci during his time in the area.
  • Naviglio di Paderno and Leonardo’s Ferry: South of the town, visitors can explore the Naviglio di Paderno, a canal once used to bypass rapids on the Adda. A replica of Leonardo’s Ferry, based on his designs for a current-powered vessel, is moored nearby. The area is rich in engineering history and connected by scenic trails.
  • Day Trip to Crespi d’Adda: Just a short distance away, Crespi d’Adda is a UNESCO World Heritage-listed company town built in the late 19th century.
