Historic Homes Day 2026 in Milan and Lombardy

Date: Sunday, 24 May 2026

The 16th edition of Historic Homes Day showcases a programme of exceptional openings of private courtyards, villas and historic palaces in Milan and throughout Lombardy. This year’s theme, “Custodians of the future: a living heritage for shared value”, highlights collective responsibility for protecting and passing on architectural heritage.

The event includes the Open Courtyards initiative, which emphasizes inner historical spaces and promotes direct encounters between the public and local monuments.
