Piazza Cavour
Monumento ai caduti
The Monumento ai caduti of Como is a 33-meter-tall commemorative tower located on the lakefront, next to the Tempio Voltiano and near the Giuseppe Sinigaglia Stadium. Inaugurated on November 4, 1933, it honors the 650 soldiers from Como who died in World War I.
Hangar
The Hangar of Como, located at Piazzale Somaini on the scenic shores of Lake Como, is a historic landmark in aviation. Built between 1930 and 1931, it was established shortly after the founding of the Aero Club Como, the oldest seaplane operation in the world.
The structure has preserved much of its original design and still serves as a base for seaplane storage, maintenance, and flight training. In 2019, it underwent a careful restoration after storm damage.
Today, it remains an active hub for aviation enthusiasts, offering both training and scenic flights over the lake.
Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia
The Giuseppe Sinigaglia Stadium, located near the lakefront in Como, is the city’s main sports venue and home to the Como 1907 football team. Opened in 1927, it was named after Giuseppe Sinigaglia, a local rowing champion and war hero.
Designed in a rationalist architectural style, the stadium has hosted numerous sporting and cultural events over the years. With its iconic location by the lake, it remains a symbol of Como’s sporting spirit and local pride.
Piazza Volta
Piazza Volta, located in the heart of Como, is a lively square dedicated to the renowned physicist Alessandro Volta, born in the city in 1745. At its center stands a statue of Volta, celebrating his invention of the electric battery.
Surrounded by cafés, boutiques, and historic buildings, the square is a popular meeting point for locals and visitors alike, blending cultural heritage with the vibrant rhythm of modern city life.
Porta Torre
Porta Torre, also known as the Tower Gate, is one of the most iconic medieval landmarks in Como. Built in 1192, it served as the main entrance to the fortified city and stands as a symbol of its defensive past.
With its imposing 40-meter height and well-preserved Romanesque architecture, Porta Torre offers a striking reminder of Como’s rich medieval history and strategic importance.
Duomo
The Duomo of Como is a stunning Gothic-Renaissance cathedral in the heart of Como. Built between the 14th and 18th centuries, it features ornate facades, a majestic dome, and beautiful artworks inside.
Teatro Sociale
Teatro Sociale di Como, located just steps from Piazza Verdi, is one of the city’s most iconic cultural landmarks. Built in 1813, it has hosted centuries of opera, theatre, and concerts, welcoming some of the greatest names in the performing arts.
