Basilica di San Vittore, Intra
The Basilica di San Vittore is not just any church. The Basilica di San Vittore is truly one of the most significant religious sites on the entire Lake Maggiore. This reputation is primarily due to its location. The hill on which the magnificent building stands served as a Roman refuge centuries ago. A historical document from 1031 provides information about this.
The history of the basilica began in the early 17th century. At that time, a temple stood on the site, which was gradually replaced by the new church. The foundation stone for the construction was laid in the early 18th century. It took around 200 years for the dome to crown the basilica architecturally.
A milestone in the construction of the basilica was the completion of the spacious nave, with three chapels built along its two sides. Although construction of the façade was not yet completely finished in 1752, the church was consecrated that year. In fact, it took several more decades before the porch and current façade were completed around 1820. The dome was built in its current form almost 70 years later, around 1889.

The basilica is an impressive building, although it is more impressive from the inside than from the outside
