The origins of Oasi Ca’ Granda trace back to those of Milan’s ancient Ospedale Maggiore, now the City Policlinico, or General Hospital.

Founded in 1456, it was affectionately called Ca' Granda from the start, as it welcomed everyone and cared for all, especially those most in need.

Popes, nobles and commoners bestowed a great many fields and farmhouses to Ca 'Granda. These were  rented to support free medical treatment and were farmed to feed patients, orphans and the poor.
