The city center is located on the lakefront, around the Piazza del Duomo, one of the most appreciated monuments in northern Italy. The historic center still retains the appearance of the original Roman castrum, with well-preserved medieval walls and large defense towers.

In the 9th century, the church was dedicated to Sant'Abbondio, former bishop of Como, buried here since the 5th century. In 1010 bishop Alberico send here a community of Benedictine monks who started reconstructing the church. Previous paleochristian building was torn down and a new Romanesque church was built and consecrated by Urbano II in 1095. In the following two centuries many important modifications were carried out. After 1968, the cloister next to the church was acquired by Como municipality and restored. Nowadays, the law department of University of Insubria is located here. https://www.visitcomo.eu/en/discover/monuments/churches/basilica_santabbondio/index.html https://www.lombardiabeniculturali.it/architetture/schede/CO180-00073/

You approach the route of the former Valmorea Railway, with its disused station and enter the cycle path that heads towards the real Gurone Dam, a structure 12 metres high above the river level and 156 metres long, built between 2004 and 2009 and capable of generating a reservoir of more than a million cubic metres. The construction was necessary because this stretch of the valley has always been subject to flooding from the Olona (around 70 have been recorded since the 15th century), such as the most recent ones in 1995 and 2002. The cycle path now climbs along its embankments with an almost linear route and a gradient of almost 12%, built in this way so as not to interfere with the structure of the dam and its hydraulic characteristics. Once you reach the top, be careful on the descent. After reaching the closest point to the river, you start following the railway again, of which you can see sections of tracks in the woods. Now on the right we have the Pedemontana motorway and you cycle in one of the tunnels created during its construction. You can now reach the small public garden equipped with a rack with e-bike charging and a self-repair kit or, keeping to the left at the roundabout and crossing the provincial road, you head south. We are in the Lozza plain, which you cross on the side of the railway embankment with a long straight stretch before arriving at a narrow peninsula formed on the left by the Olona and on the right by the Selvagna stream. After crossing the stream, the path goes to the side of the provincial road to enter Castiglione Olona. On the right, the railway system of the former station opens up, where you can still see some carriages. At the crossing, keep left to continue on the cycle path, while instead you will go to the right to reach the historic village.

Spectacular Romanesque basilica, founded in the 5th century and originally dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul. In 818 the basilica was renamed to Saint Abbondio (bishop and patron saint of Como) and became the Cathedral of Como. Between 1050 and 1095, after the cathedral was moved to its current location within the walls, the church was entrusted to the Benedictines who adapted it in Romanesque style. Inside, in the presbytery, a wonderful cycle of frescoes from the early 14th century. The apse area is beautiful on the outside, full of medieval sculptures and decorations and the pair of twin bell towers.
