The Oasi di Sant’Alessio is a nature park located between Milan and Pavia and open to visitors most of the year. Comprising ten hectares of land around a 15th-century castle, the Oasi was founded in 1973 with the aim of raising and reintroducing at-risk animal species. Thanks to its work, dozens of lost species have been reintroduced into the Po Valley, including the white stork and numerous species of herons, hawks and native wading birds.

Experienced falconers, the founders and keeper of the park hold daily falconry demonstrations, offering visitors the opportunity to enjoy an extraordinary natural spectacle, already enormously popular in centuries past: falcons displaying their hunting skills.
