Piazza Cavour is the main square of Como with a beautiful view of the Lake. Since ever it's a meeting place for Como's people. In the past centuries it was the port of the city.
The lively square is dedicated to a very important inhabitant of Como: Alessandro Volta who invented the battery in 1799.
A very special street that takes us back to far centuries, here the time has stopped, it's the heart of the ancient medieval town, its atmosphere is really unique
During our walk I'll take you to discover this wonderful artwork, its interiors show us different artistic styles from the late XIV to the late XVII century. Its facade is a refined white marble lace which wants to tell us something and I'll tell you everything about it!
A small space surrounded by meaningful buildings, a point to embrace a kind of architectural evolution.
The elegant Vittorio Emanuele II Street, the main shopping street
A small, cozy square another important place of the historical center, picturesque with its ancient facades and the Church of Saint Fedele that was the Cathedral for a longtime.

About Lake Como
Lake Como is a deep, Y-shaped lake in Lombardy, ringed by steep green mountains, pastel villages, ornate villas and terraced gardens.
Lake Como is shaped like an upside-down Y, with three arms that meet near Bellagio. At more than 400 metres deep, it is one of the deepest lakes in Europe, held between steep wooded slopes that rise towards the Alps. Villages with painted houses and small harbours stand along the water, and a network of ferries links them, making a boat the best way to see the shoreline.
Top-ranked sights in Lake Como: Villa del Balbianello, Villa Melzi Gardens (Giardini di Villa Melzi), Como-Brunate Funicular Railway (Funicolare Como-Brunate).
