QC Officina
Viale Filippetti 41 – 20122 Milano

Inside Milan’s ancient Spanish walls, a warm welcome in one of the oldest and most elegant Liberty-style buildings in Milan: built at the end of the 1800’s by the Milan Transport Agency as a station and deposit for horse-drawn trams.

Since the 1950’s the building has been known as the “golden spider” due to the prize awarded to the winner of a singing competition held within its walls.
QC Termemilano has been erected on a site of rich historical value: its gardens are surrounded by Spanish walls, erected between 1548 and 1562 by order of Ferrante I Gonzaga, governor of the city at the time when Milan was under Spanish control.
