Calvairate

Calvairate (Lombard: Calvairaa [kalʋajˈraː]) is a district (quartiere) of Milan, Italy.

It is part of the Zone 4 administrative division, located east of the city centre.

A small rural settlement (borgo) in the area of Calvairate is reported at least from the 16th century.

In the 19th century the borgo, which was then part of the comune of Corpi Santi, quickly developed, and was annexed to Milan in 1873.

Nowadays, Calvairate is a residential district, albeit large green areas have been preserved.
