The Naviglio della Martesana, also known as Naviglio Piccolo (in Lombard Navili de la Martesana or Naviliett), is one of the Milanese canals that connects Milan with the Adda river, from which it receives water at Concesa, just downstream from Trezzo sull'Adda. It was named Martesana, after the county it would cross, by Francesco Sforza in 1457, even before construction work began in 1460.

It is the hub of the town's religious and community life.

The Crespi d'Adda Workers' Village is an exceptionally well-preserved historic company town, built starting in 1877 by the Crespi family for the workers of their cotton mill. The town center is considered the finest example of a company town in Southern Europe for its conception of an "ideal city," where workers had all the necessary services, including single-family homes and social facilities. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that the houses are still inhabited. Due to its importance, it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995.

The Sanctuary and Rock Church of San Vittore Martire is an extraordinary complex spread across three levels, exploiting natural caves. The oldest part is the Hypogeum Rock Church, a cave of early medieval origin known for a 10th-century fresco believed to have served as a refuge. Over this, a more classical-style Upper Church was built. The entire complex is connected by a Holy Staircase.
