サンフェルモデラバッタリアの洞窟・トップ4

You can visit the beautiful station with a guide. The view is well worth it!

At the end of the beach promenade there is "suddenly" a huge building: Villa Olmo. Imposing park with a panoramic view of Como. The bike has to be pushed.

Villa Olmo is a perfect example of Italian neoclassical style. Its elegance and charm didn’t go unnoticed by Napoleon Bonaparte and Giuseppe Garibaldi, who were two of the most notable guests of the villa. The villa began restoration work in early 2024, so its interior will not be open to visitors for about a couple of years. The gardens that surround it are open all throughout the year.

Castello Baradello, the symbol of Spina Verde Park, is a fortification erected in 1558 by Holy Roman Emperor Frederick Barbarossa, on the remains of 6th-century Byzantine buildings. Visits to the tower of Castello Baradello are possible by reservation only.

Cyclable road partly asphalted and, after a barrier, dirt, which leads to Castel Baradello with a beautiful view of Como.

The city wall was built in the 13th/14th. Built in the century and surrounded the old town of Como. Mighty, square towers stand at regular intervals, although the former main gate is no longer preserved.

Ruins of a small cave castle, clearly visible and with exposed access in the rock walls north of Mendrisio. A straight, three-story wall closes the natural cave. The main openings and probably the namesake are a high entrance and two windows. There is a cast iron window above the climb. Several embrasures and light hatches have been preserved. According to architectural criteria, the castle dates back to the 15th century. It probably served as a defensive refuge for a local leadership group. The Tanùn (Tanone), another cave on the ascent, which is closed off with a low wall, was probably related to Tri Böcc. An at least indirect connection is conceivable with the grotto hermitage of San Nicolao, which, according to tradition, was built by Loterio Rusca in 1413 in a higher rock echelon.
