In Arona, the birthplace of San Carlo Borromeo, stands the imposing statue dedicated to the saint, built after his canonization to celebrate the greatness of the Milanese archbishop. For almost two centuries, this statue held the record for being the tallest in the world. The city preserves many places linked to the life of Borromeo: the Rocca, his birthplace, today transformed into an enchanting panoramic park with the remains of the ancient fortress; the collegiate church of Santa Maria Nascente, where he was baptized; and the church of the Santi Martiri, where he celebrated his last mass before returning to Milan, where he died in 1584.

Colossus of S.Carlone🗽I create the foundations for the construction of the Statue of Liberty🇺🇲

The sheer size alone makes this monument, dedicated to Saint Charles Borromeo (1538 to 1584), a monument that cannot be overlooked on the Sacro Monte di Arona. The colossal statue, measuring 36 meters in total, was created by Giovan Battista Crespi at the end of the 17th century. SAN CARLO BORROMEO, Cardinal of Milan, comes from an influential family of counts based in Arona; his homeland has paid him unmistakable tribute here with this walk-in monument. The feast day of Saint Charles Borromeo in the calendar of saints is November 4th.

If you want to go to the lower viewing platform you have to pay €7.50 and if you want to climb all the way to the top inside the statue you have to pay €10.
