ポルツァのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

2026年現在も信じられないほど美しく平和な場所です。しかし、景色は年月とともに生い茂ってしまいました。それでも訪れる価値はあります。

Beautiful view from the promenade of Lake Lugano with striking mountains such as Monte San Salvatore, Monte San Giorgio and Monte Generoso.

In times of prolonged drought, people used to pray for rain here.

The most important design choice is the square plan of the church, whose entire internal geometry is also determined by this figure. The square is a geometric symbol that expresses man's orientation in space and in the sphere of life. The square implies an ordering principle that seems innate to man and that, in a dualistic system, is opposed to the circle that represents the heavenly powers. The squaring of the circle thus symbolizes the desire to bring the "earthly" and "heavenly" elements back into ideal harmony. Another symbolic aspect of the project is the analogy between its geometry and the ancient Christological monogram, which recalls the cross and connects the circle to the square, which has a function of synthesis and measure. The sense of memory and protection created by the square plan is enhanced by the two geometric constructions that form the external and internal shell of the church. The first is massive and made of naturally split lexinia, the second is thinner and lighter and runs towards the altar around which the assembly gathers, arranged essentially in a semicircle and not rigidly divided, in order to comply with the most authentic innovative principles (Vatican II) of liturgical division

We only did the first section, from top to bottom. It cost 2 francs for an adult. But it's a beautiful experience and you can see the lake glistening in the sun. After the first section you have to cross the road and continue up to Monte Brè.

Superb magical place. Wooden constructions to represent the village festival of yesteryear.

Located in the woods south of Vaglio, the Redde tower and the Church of S. Clemente were part of an inhabited complex including a village (Redde), the house-fortress and a church.
