The building has a gabled facade marked by four giant order pilasters, with a single central portal and four niches with statues on the sides. The bell tower rises on the left flank.

The Naviglio della Martesana, definitively completed in 1496 under the guidance of Ludovico il Moro, flows from Trezzo sull’Adda to Milan for a total length of 38 km. The route runs alongside the ancient Roman road (the current SS 11 padana superiore) which crossed the Adda with two branches: at Vaprio and Cassano. For a long time, the predominant use of the canal was the irrigation of the lands located above the spring belt, so much so that initially navigation was limited to two days a week; concurrently with the improvement of the agricultural structure thanks to irrigation, a notable flourishing of stately villas occurred in the Baroque era, intended to enjoy the convenience of water travel and control the lands owned.
