The palace has a view of the ancient Spanish walls of Milan built in 1548 by order of the governor Ferrante Gonzaga. Only in the second half of the seventecend did they become a romantic public walk on a project by Giuseppe Piermarini who transforms the walls into real panoramic elevated avenues in which from every point it was possible to observe both the profile of the Alps and the Cathedral of Milan. In 1889 the Berruto Plan brought the walls with an activity that ended only in 1950, and a pedestrian Albertata walk along the avenue was created according to the large Cesare Berruto project parallel to the road, the project was never carried out.
