Quadrilatero d'Oro

in Milan
Portrait

Four streets enclosing a rectangle that no plan created: the houses assembled it themselves from the 1950s, taking the buildings one at a time until the block was theirs. Via Montenapoleone is one side of it and took first place in the world by retail rent in 2024.

This is a quarter, not an entry in the atlas. It resolves upward to the city that holds it.
