The Journey
Piazza Cavour
Piazza Cavour, once a bustling harbor, has transformed into the vibrant heart of Como. Imagine strolling through this 'city lounge,' built upon reclaimed land and steeped in history. Once graced by a grand fountain (now in New York's Bronx Park), the piazza features charming flowerbeds dating back to the early 20th century. While prone to flooding due to its lakeside origins, Piazza Cavour offers a glimpse into Como's evolution, from a maritime hub to a lively social center. It is an essential starting point for experiencing the city's dynamic atmosphere and historical layers.
Teatro Sociale
Experience the grandeur of Teatro Sociale, a historical theater erected in 1811 upon the foundations of an ancient castle – its original walls still visible today. Designed by Giuseppe Cusi, this architectural gem opened its doors in 1813 and continues to host captivating theatrical performances. Beyond the stage, Teatro Sociale offers an elegant setting for ceremonies, weddings, and business events. Immerse yourself in the arts and history within this remarkable landmark, a testament to Como's cultural heritage.
Como Cathedral
Marvel at the architectural splendor of Como Cathedral, a magnificent structure near Lago di Como that embodies a captivating blend of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles. Its construction spanned several historical periods, resulting in a unique visual narrative. Step inside to discover the sarcophagi of Bishops Avvocati and Bonifacio da Modena, adding to the cathedral's rich historical significance. A visit to Como Cathedral is a journey through centuries of artistic and religious expression.
Basilica di San Fedele
Discover the Basilica of San Fedele, nestled in the heart of Como and dedicated to Saint Fidelis, a revered martyr. This sacred site traces its origins back to a 7th-century Christian church dedicated to Saint Euphemia. The Basilica's intricate design and spiritual atmosphere make it a compelling destination for those seeking to explore Como's religious history and architectural heritage. Its central location allows for convenient exploration of the surrounding city center.
Porta Torre
Stand in awe of Porta Torre (also known as Torre di Porta Vittoria), an imposing fortified tower that once guarded the main entrance to Como. Built in 1192, this 40-meter-high structure stands as a testament to the city's medieval defenses. Ascend the tower for panoramic views of Como and Lake Como, connecting with history as you gaze out over the city it once protected. Porta Torre is a powerful reminder of Como's rich past and a must-see for history enthusiasts.
