Villa Casati Stampa, now the town hall of Muggiò, is a neoclassical building designed in 1798 by Austrian architect Leopold Pollack. The residence was built on a pre-existing 16th century structure. The villa was surrounded by a park of more than twenty thousand square metres of surface (nearly five acres), designed as an English garden. Today, the park has been transformed and laid out as a sports ground.
The Mausoleum of Casati Stampa Soncino is a commemorative monument in the urban cemetery of Muggiò, built in 1830.
