Spectacular view of the city of Arona and Lake Maggiore

Very steep section with little clearing. You must keep your feet on the ground for 1 km.

Once you arrive in Arona, walk along the lakeside and have an ice cream, go up to visit the statue of S. Carlone but... don't forget to visit the Rocca too! Founded in a period shortly before the year 1000 under the control of the Lombards, for four centuries the Rocca remained in the hands of the Borromeo family, giving birth to Cardinal San Carlo Borromeo in 1538; the history of the Rocca di Arona ends in 1800 when the Napoleonic army received the order to destroy some fortifications occupied by the Austrians; from that moment on only a few ruins of the Rocca di Arona remain. From above you can also enjoy a spectacular view of Arona below, of Angera opposite and of this entire stretch of lake!

Climbing the hill is worth the effort.

Nice

Simply beautiful here 🤩☀️

Beautiful view!

Parish Church of Santa Maria Assunta (XIV century), Orta San Giulio On the top of the Motta hill ("hill", in Lombard) stands the church of Santa Maria Assunta, built in 1485 and rebuilt in the second half of the 18th century. The original late Romanesque structure was enriched by 17th and 18th century paintings by Rossetti, Cantalupi and Orgiazzi. In the Gemelli Chapel you can admire a painting by Procaccini depicting Saint Charles in the procession of the plague in Milan; it is one of the most important examples of the early 17th century in Lombardy. The façade is by Carlo Nigra and is preceded by a porch on twin seventeenth-century columns.
