Oratory of the Nativity of Saint Charles
Highlight • Religious Site
Inside the oratory also in Ionic style as an altarpiece is a canvas representing the baptism of St. Charles. The curate of San Mamete, Domenico Pozzi, who wrote the report of the plague of 1630, writes that in that year a procession was made on the feast of San Carlo, in which the relics of the saint were brought with those of other saints, donated by he archbishop of the time, Federico Borromeo, at the oratory of the Nativity of San Carlo sopra San Mamete.

Church of Saints Mamete and Agapito
Highlight • Religious Site
On the outside of the building you can see the signs of the various changes made over time. On the side facing the lake there are frescoes of some coats of arms of Milanese archbishops, Lords of Valsolda. Inside, the church has a single nave with four side chapels. Behind the main altar there is an ancient painting depicting the Madonna and Child with San Mamete, but the view is blocked by the altar itself. On the two sides of the presbytery there are two scenes from the life of S. Mamete: the capture by Alessandro's soldiers and the death in the furnace, executed by the painter Salvatore Pozzi of Puria. The chapels on the left depict: a Pieta with St. Peter martyr and St. Dominic and in the other various representations of the guardian angel. The chapel is an interesting example of illusionistic painting.
In the chapels on the right we find: an altar of the Madonna and in the other a canvas with the marriage of the Virgin. At the entrance to the churchyard, there is an ossuary on the facade of which discolored decorations can be seen.
