The Navigli district of Milan named after the waterway system linking Lake Maggiore, Lake Como and the low Ticino. The construction of the whole system has ancient origins, which occurred between the twelfth and nineteenth centuries, and is one of the most fascinating characteristic of Milan. The system of ditches had defensive purposes, but also needed to provide the necessary water to the city. The canals were also used for the transport of foodstuffs and of goods. Today the ancient system of canals there remain only three: the Canal Grande, Naviglio Pavese and Martesana. In recent years the Navigli Grande and Pavese have become the heart of Milan's fun, thanks to the presence of numerous happy hour bars and nightclubs.

Porta Ticinese (formerly known as Porta Cicca, and during Napoleonic rule as Porta Marengo)[1] is a former city gate of Milan, Italy. The gate, facing south-west, was first created with the Spanish walls of the city, in the 16th century, but the original structure was later demolished and replaced in the early 19th century. The name "Porta Ticinese" is used both to refer to the gate proper and to the surrounding district, part of the Zone 6 administrative division. In the same district there is also a homonymous medieval gate, although in common speech the name "Porta Ticinese" is usually assumed to refer to the 19th century gate.
The gate of Porta Ticinese is one of the landmark buildings of Milan and a popular tourist attraction.[1]
The name "Porta Ticinese" means "Gate to the Ticino", referred to the Ticino river, that traverses the Po Valley south-west of Milan. The name "Porta Cicca" came about during the Spanish rule of Milan in the 16th century, "Cicca" being a distortion of the Spanish word chica, i.e., "small". The name "Porta Marengo", which was used in the 19th century, refers to the town of Marengo, now a frazione of Marmirolo, which is also located south-west of Milan.
The area surrounding Porta Ticinese is a historic quartiere of Milan; it has its coat of arms, a three-legged red stool on a silver background.
The district is part of the Navigli area of Milan, which is rich of monuments, tourist attractions, night life, and more, and qualifies as one of the most important areas of Milan outside the historic centre. It includes the notable Basilica of Sant'Eustorgio, a basilica that was established in the middle ages and restored several times through the centuries, so that the original romanesque structure has been complemented with Renassaince elements. Sant'Eustorgio is located in a well known city park called Parco delle Basiliche, which also includes another prominent basilica, that of San Lorenzo. Nearby are also the Colonne di San Lorenzo, which are among the best preserved Roman ruins in Milan. The plaza where the Colonne di San Lorenzo are located is also one of the key places of the so-called "Milanese movida", i.e., night-life.[4]
