Brera (district of Milan)
Brera is a district ("quartiere") of Milan, Italy. It is located within the Zone 1 (the historical core of the city) and it is centered around Brera street. Brera 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".[1] 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. Other features that contribute to the character of Brera include sophisticated and romantic restaurants and bars (Brera is one of the most popular Milanese neighbourhoods for what concerns night life), antique and art shops, colorful street markets, as well as fortune tellers' booths.
