Tourist Attractions & Monuments en Italie - Lacs italiens

Built in the first half of the th century by Giuseppe Barbieri to become the seat of the Austrian Civic Guard, it is a great neoclassical palace built on the model of ancient Roman temples. Inside are two great paintings by Paolo Farinati and Felice Brusasorci illustrating episodes in the history of Verona. Since 1869, it has been the seat of the municipality.

At the end of the th century, at the time of the tyrant Ezzelino da Romano and repeated several times thereafter, this tower is on the west side of Piazza Amphitheatre and was part of Cittadella.

Conceived as a lair for the troops during rainy days, the construction of this palace began in 1610 by Domenico Curtoni (disciple of Michele Sanmicheli), but the works ended only around the th century by Giuseppe Barbieri. The first floor is characterized by a porch with thirteen arcades. Finally, this palace regularly hosts exhibitions.

The brainchild of textile merchant and eccentric traveler Arthur Scherrer (1818-1956), this astonishing park brings together statues and other objets d'art from all over the world, amid lush, exotic vegetation. It's all very romantic. The stroll and the benches where you can rest among the various plants are very pleasant: palms, camellias, wisteria, oleanders, cedars, cypresses, camphor trees and eucalyptus... with a superb view at times of Lake Lugano below. Bonus: why not come by boat from Lugano?

This church and the chapel that accompanies it are installed on a panoramic terrace overlooking Morcote. It can be reached by a long staircase (sporty climb!).

The largest miniature park in Switzerland, this amusement park is set in a vast park where the most picturesque sites in Switzerland are recreated: its towns, its monuments (castles and cathedrals taking the lion's share) and its means of communication. All this, of course, on a scale 25 times smaller than normal. The effect is truly surprising and highly successful. The reconstructed Swiss railroad network alone stretches 3,650 m in length. A must-see for kids! On-site restaurant.
