The parish church of Santo Stefano stands in the village of Menaggio, where the Strada Regina once passed, a short distance from Lake Como. Construction of the church began in 1618 on the ruins of earlier Romanesque buildings, and its orientation was changed by moving the façade toward the lake. The church was enlarged, with a lengthwise layout featuring three naves and six side chapels. The work was carried out thanks to donations from the wealthy Calvi family of Menaggio. The frescoes inside the church of Santo Stefano are the work of Luigi Tagliaferri (1841-1927), a prolific painter from a family of artists from the Lecco area. The beautiful painting by Bernardino Luini (1481-1532), depicting the Madonna and Child with an Angel, was located in the Rosary Chapel. It was later sold to the Austrian governor Carlo Firmian in exchange for the transfer of the Prefecture from Tremezzo to Menaggio. Today, a copy of the famous painting is displayed in the parish church; the original is in the Louvre Museum in Paris. (c) https://www.comoeilsuolago.it/menaggiochiesa.htm

The church on this site has ancient origins but was remodeled during the 19th century. FEATURES On the church's façade, we see the municipal coat of arms, with the effigy of the castle, and a funerary stone: the latter is of Roman origin and belongs to Lucius Minicius Exoratus, a notable of the Empire, from the 1st century AD. The building has a nave and a small bell tower. Inside, among the paintings, stand out a Nativity and a Flagellation from the 1700s. The Nativity scene, entirely handmade by Susy using the crochet technique, can be visited daily at the Church of Santa Marta, at Via Calvi 15.

Beautifully renovated and now operating under the name Victoria Beach. Entry starts at €50 – it's a good idea to book in advance on their website. Opening hours: 10:00 AM – 7:00 PM.
