The Zone 1 of Milan (in Italian: Zona 1 di Milano) is one of the 9 administrative zones of Milan, Italy.〔 (The 9 city councils of Milan (municipal website) )〕 The zone includes the historical center of the city. It is the least populated of the city's zones and one of the smallest by area, a significant part of which is occupied by the Piazza del Duomo, the Castello Sforzesco and Sempione Park. Much of the remainder of the zone is dedicated to museums and administration buildings. ==Subdivision== The zone includes the following quarters: *Brera, which houses the Brera Academy of Fine Arts and the Brera Art Gallery, which prominently contributed to the development of Brera as an artists' neighborhood and a place of bohemian atmosphere, sometimes referred to as "the milanese Montmartre".〔(Fiori Chiari ) (one of the best known streets in Brera)〕 Both the Academy and the Gallery are located in Palazzo Brera, the main historical building of the area; this same building also houses Milan's botanical garden as well as an astronomical observatory and the Braidense National Library. Other features that contribute to the character of Brera include restaurants, bars, night clubs, antique and art shops, colorful street markets, as well as fortune tellers' booths; *Porta Sempione, a prominent historic district that also includes part of Corso Sempione, a large avenue leading to Porta Sempione from the northwest. The main landmark of this area is the Sforza Castle, which dominates the Simplon Park, the largest and most important city park in the centre of Milan. The park houses other renowned monuments and places of interest, such as the Branca Tower, the Palazzo dell'Arte (one of the seats of the Triennale art expo), sculptures by Giorgio de Chirico, and the public aquarium. The whole area is one of the centres of the so-called Milanese ''movida'' (night life), with a number of bars, pubs, restaurants, and discos; since the RAI public television company, as well as some major radio stations, have their headquarters in the area, frequent appearances of celebrities contribute to the popularity of the Sempione's night life venues;〔(Il camper del Corriere al Sempione )〕 *Porta Tenaglia; *Centro Storico; *Conca del Naviglio; *Guastalla. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Zone 1 of Milan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
