The San Maffeo tower is located on the hill of the same name in the municipality of Rodero at 505 m a.s.l., reachable along the border path 400/700. The mighty work, of uncertain foundation, belonged to a coordinated and strategic system of lookout points that linked the hills between Lario, Ceresio and Verbano.
The panorama enjoyed from this position is remarkable, reflecting the military function that allowed to control the Lanza or Valmorea Valley to the south, the villages of Rodero, Cagno, Malnate, Solbiate, Binago and the current Canton of Ticino to the north. , the Muggiò Valley, Monte Generoso and even a small portion of Lake Lugano.
