Chiesetta S.Michele al Monte (Porto Valtravaglia) Church of San Michele al Monte The millennial church of San Michele al Monte is located in the area of the current municipality of Porto Valtravaglia, at about 820 meters. The church of San Michele al Mt. was built to ensure that people who lived in the mountains during spring and summer could attend religious services. The small church of San Michele al Monte has a very simple structure: about 30 square meters, with a semicircular apse facing east according to ancient tradition. The apse, the oldest part of the small church, dating from the second half of the 11th century, features well-aligned rows of stones and pebbles with clear fish-hook bands. The sacristy and bell tower are believed to have been added in the 19th century. In 1965 the roof of the sacristy collapsed. In 2000 the roof was completely rebuilt and walls and foundations were restored. Discoveries followed: in 2001, important frescoes from the 11th to 14th centuries were discovered and restored. Already described in the 15th century, they were later hidden under new paving, and the church was even used to house tools and animals. Text: Porto Valtravaglia Parish

Church of ss. Pietro e Paolo, San Pietro,(Castelveccana) The church was first mentioned in 1450. In the 17th century, until 1683, it was radically modified and partially rebuilt. Side chapels were built and a new presbytery was erected. A new extension of the building began around 1760, which was completed around 1780 and gave the church the new neoclassical appearance. In 1942 the interior decoration works began, directed by Paolo Rivetta and Giovanni Battista Pedrocca, which were completed in 1954. Text: Porto Valtravaglia Attraction

Church of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul, San Pietro, (Castelveccana) It is not possible to establish a date of construction for the largest church of Castelveccana, popularly called San Pietro. From the parish archives and those of the Milan Curia, the earliest news dates back to 1250. What is certain, however, is that the church of San Pietro was visited by Gabriele Sforza in 1455, by a delegate of Carlo Borromeo in 1569, by San Carlo himself in 1578 and 1580, who detached it as a parish from Porto. Over the centuries, the church has undergone various changes, the most significant of which occurred in 1800: the façade, originally facing the lake, was moved to the east, where the apse had previously been. The style of the church is late Renaissance, with expressions of Baroque both in the interior and in the façade. A splendid example is the 18th century altar, which lends itself wonderfully to a polychrome series of marble inlays. The paintings are new and valuable, works by Rivetta, made between 1945 and 1953, while the decorations are by the Milanese cousins Monti. One of these altars, dedicated to the Madonna, is very old: according to tradition it was transported from the church of the castle that stood on the Rocca. This church, known as "San Celso in Arce", was demolished in 1596 by the abandonment of Cardinal Federico Borromeo. The church owes its name to the dedication to the holy apostles Peter and Paul.
