The Guardian of the Waters (Moirago, Naviglio Pavese)

Highlight • Monument

One of the most characteristic places of the Naviglio Pavese, the so-called Guardiano delle Acque is an atelier where artists work, with a garden near the Moirago lock, in Zibido San Giacomo. The place seems to be in a state of semi-abandonment and this amplifies its charm.

Moirago Lock and Waterkeeper's House

Highlight • Historical Site

The Conca di Moirago is one of the twelve basins of the Naviglio Pavese, a navigable canal that connects Milan to Pavia. The locks were a system of "steps" that allowed boats to overcome the difference in level of the canal. Each basin had its own keeper, who operated the mechanism and controlled its functioning. The building of the "Guardian of the waters" today is a museum that houses an exhibition that tells the story of the place.

Naviglio Pavese Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

The Naviglio Pavese cycle path is a cycle/pedestrian path that runs for about 35 km, connecting Milan to the municipality of Pavia. The route follows the bank of the Naviglio Pavese, an artificial canal built in the 16th century for the transport of goods.

The cycle path offers a beautiful landscape, with views of the fields, villages and ancient locks along the canal. It is very popular with both cyclists and pedestrians, being completely separated from vehicular traffic.

Some points of interest along the cycle path include:

- Parco Agricolo Sud Milano: the start of the route is located within this large natural park south of Milan.
- Chiaravalle Abbey: important monastic complex from the 12th century.
- City of Binasco: characteristic village with a well-preserved historic center.
- City of Pavia: the cycle path ends in the historic center of this city of art.

The cycle path is paved and well signposted, with several rest areas and refreshment points along the route. It is accessible from several points in Milan and represents an excellent opportunity for a bike trip outside the city.
