Historic Structures of Lombardy

This collection showcases the architectural heritage of the Lecco province and the eastern shores of Lake Como. It spans from the 14th-century Azzone Visconti Bridge to the 17th-century Spanish Fort Fuentes and the industrial engineering of the San Michele Bridge. Highlights include medieval defensive towers like Torre di Orezia, the neoclassical Villa Manzoni—the former home of author Alessandro Manzoni—and several lakeside fortifications that once guarded strategic trade routes between the Alps and the Po Valley.
