Nesso

The Nesso Gorge

Nesso is a picturesque village sitting on the banks of Lake Como. Its history goes back to the ancient Roman times, although most of its interesting historical landmarks, such as the Church of Santi Pietro e Paolo, belong to more recent times. The church was inaugurated in 1095 by Pope Urbano II, but what you see today is a reconstruction in the Baroque style of the 1600s. The Nesso Gorge, locally known as Orrido di Nesso, is probably one of the best natural wonders of the town. Ponte della Civera, a Romanesque bridge made of stone, is a perfect place to enjoy the waterfalls.
