A landscape between water and sky

The territory of the Commune of Tremezzina is characterized by a strong cultural identity and an ancient touristic vocation. In the past, the exclusive position fostered the cultivation of citrus and olive trees. The rich historical and architectonic patrimony includes Roman, early Christian and medieval archaeological testimonies, Romanesque churches, numerous villas and interesting rationalist architectures. In addition to the Sacred Mount, worth admiring is the archaeological complex of Isola Comacina, a few historical villas, Villa Balbianello (FAI) and Villa Carlotta, renowned for its collection of rhododendrons and azaleas together with its internal furniture that includes works by Canova, Thorvaldsen and Hayez. The creation of the Greenway, the Soft Mobility itinerary winding along the lake through the coastal villages of Lake Como, and the Artway, the video-guide system that sets off the main monuments, offer tourists a valid alternative and an effective tool to get to know the territory at best, together with a variety of nautical sports and excursions.
