The Cathedral and the other monuments

The Cathedral of Como, with its Gothic-Renaissance elegance dominates the urban architecture of the city. It is considered one of the most representative religious buildings in Northern Italy, and its uniqueness and beauty are a legacy of the almost 4 centuries it took to build it, from 1396 to 1740.

In addition to the Cathedral, the city hosts many famous buildings of Christian worship such as the Basilica of Sant'Abbondio (Romanesque style, 11th century), the Basilica of San Carpoforo (first basilica of the diocese of Como, 4th century) and the Basilica of San Fedele (Romanesque style, 11th century).

Como, the city of Alessandro Volta

Como is the city of Alessandro Volta and there are several
attractions dedicated to him.

Tempio Voltiano

It is a Scientific Museum and displays several interesting objects and documents on the scientist who was also honored with the Volta Lighthouse. It is an octagonal tower erected in 1927 which stands out for 29 m (the structure is located in Brunate, a village connected to Como).

Piazza Volta

Here, in the evening, the nightlife lights up over which the famous statue of the chemist 'watches'.

The Life Electric

Renowned modern sculpture 16m high and made in 2015 by Daniel Libeskind. It represents two opposing sinusoids and is placed in a precise point, in relation to two other works dedicated to Volta.

The villas of Lake Como

The numerous stately villas deserve a visit
surrounded by lush parks.

Villa Olmo and the promenade of the villas

The largest residence on the Lario and a magnificent example of a neoclassical villa, Villa Olmo is one of the things not to be missed in Como.

Between 1782 and 1789 the splendid villa, the work of Simone Cantoni, was designed and built. The client, the Marquis Innocenzo Odescalchi, wanted a summer residence for his family overlooking Lake Como.


Villa Olmo is a grandiose, sober and elegant architectural work, completed by the creation of a large garden with direct access to Lake Como.

The halls and rooms of Villa Olmo have hosted numerous famous historical figures, such as Napoleon Bonaparte, Giuseppe Garibaldi and Ugo Foscolo.
