Volta Temple

Highlight • Monument

The term "temple" is obvious at first glance due to the architecture of this building and is also used as such, but it is basically misleading. Because this is not a religious building, but a purely profane one: It is dedicated to the physicist Allesandro VOLTA (1745 to 1827), who was born here in Como.

Como Cathedral (Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta)

Highlight • Religious Site

The Cathedral of Como (Italian: Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta, also Duomo di Como) is the cathedral of the Diocese of Como. The cathedral was built as the last of the Gothic cathedrals in Lombardy. Construction began in 1396, around ten years after the foundation stone of the Milan Cathedral was laid, and lasted about three and a half centuries. During this time, numerous architectural styles were incorporated into the cathedral. The dominant architectural style has remained the original late Gothic or early Renaissance style.

Lake Como

Highlight • Lake

Some facts about Como and its beautiful lake:
Lake Como, with a depth of no less than 410 meters, is one of the deepest lakes in Europe. During the Ice Age, the basin was carved out so deeply by glaciers that the lake bed lies more than 200 meters below sea level.
In antiquity and the Middle Ages, the lake was a crucial, but dangerous, transport route. Archaeologists still regularly find Roman amphorae and shipwrecks on the bottom, which were used at the time to illegally smuggle goods and silk past customs posts.
Isola Comacina, the only island in the lake, was completely destroyed in 1169 after a bloody war. The bishop of Como pronounced a curse: anyone who built or ate there would die a horrible death. Only in 1947 was the "curse" ritually broken by a restaurant owner, whose restaurant still operates successfully today.
Does a secret Nazi treasure lie in the waters of Lake Como? Shortly before his arrest in 1945, Benito Mussolini tried to flee to Switzerland with a column of German army vehicles. According to legend, the "Treasure of Dongo" – millions in gold, jewels, and government money – was thrown into Lake Como at the time and has never been fully recovered.
Finally, the world-famous physicist Alessandro Volta, inventor of the electric battery (volt), was born and raised in Como. The iconic neoclassical temple Tempio Voltiano on the shore in Como was built specifically to protect his earliest scientific instruments.
