Tips

Antonino Pigafetta

January 10, 2022

Property of the Italian Environment Fund.
The Torre del Soccorso stands with its massive quadrangular mass in Moltrasio stone, easily recognizable among the vegetation that covers Mount Gravona close to the Comacina Island. The construction dominates the panorama of the lake since its construction, which took place between the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, as part of a larger fortified system, which included the castle of Isola Comacina and the defensive structures of Sala, Lezzeno and Cavagnola.
Check the opening periods of the property on the FAI website.
