the walkway on the toce is a fabulous place, if you cross from ornavasso towards candoglia, after passing under the bridge and turning right you can get along the river, up to the mergozzo lake.

It was built between 1542 and 1587 1542 on the remains of a pre-existing chapel.
The position of the building, built in an elevated position with respect to the current town centre, is explained by the need for protection from the flooding of the rivers present in the valley and shelter from the winds.
