Things to see in Varenna on Lake Como: a plunge into history and natural beauty
Varenna, a charming village on Lake Como, offers a rich historical and artistic heritage. Located on the Lecco branch of the lake, Varenna is known for the Castello di Vezio, a medieval fortress that dominates the village and the lake, and for the Villa Cipressi and Villa Monastero Gardens, two architectural complexes of great historical and cultural charm.
Villa Monastero is an impressive 16th century complex that was once a convent of Cistercian nuns and is now one of Varenna’s main attractions. The museum house and botanical gardens are home to a wide range of plant species.
The Church of San Giorgio, an example of medieval Lombard architecture, and the Church of San Giovanni Battista, one of the oldest in the region, are two other gems of Varenna, preserving precious frescoes and pictorial fragments inside.
In addition, Varenna has a thousand-year history that began as a fishing village in 769. Over time, it underwent devastation and re-foundations, becoming one of the richest villages on the lake. Today, the historical re-enactment of the Comacini exodus is a significant cultural event celebrating Varenna’s ancient history and its resilience over time.
This historical heritage, combined with the natural beauty of the lake and surrounding landscape, makes Varenna an unmissable destination for visitors to Lake Como.
