Northern Lake Como is one of the most fascinating areas of the Como region, the place where man and nature are most tightly bound together. Here there is an almost inexhaustible range of opportunities for excursions between the lake and the mountains. Also worth a visit are a number of monuments covering a range of styles - the Romanesque (e.g. the wonderful church of S. Maria del Tiglio at Gravedona and the small church of S. Fedelino at Lake Mezzola); Gothic-renaissance churches rich in frescoes; villas of the sixteenth century (e.g. Palazzo Gallio at Gravedona) and the fresco cycles of the seventeenth and eighteenth century.
