Your trip to Gravedona can start from a visit to theΒ Church of Santa Maria del Tiglio.
The church was built in the 12th century on a pre-existing Christian baptistery, and is one of the finest examples of late Romanesque art around Lake Como. The church is characterized by the elegance of its decorations as well as for the walls, which are made with two stones of different colors so that the outer walls showΒ bicolor horizontal bands.
The interior of Santa Maria del Tiglio houses a wooden crucifix, which dates back around the 12th century and is the only one left in the Province ofΒ Como.Β
The splendor of the building is also due to the landscape in which it is located, thanks to its remarkable position overlooking Lake Comoβs shore.
Continuing north, you will get to Viale Stampa. Here begins the long, beautifulΒ lake promenade of Gravedona.Β In the small square next to the harbor you will find theΒ tourist office, where you can ask for information about activities, attractions and hotels in Gravedona.
