LeccoMeet your guide outside the Information Office in Lecco and start exploring the historic center strolling along its charming alleys. Learn about the history and culture of the village while sampling a variety of delicious tastings.
- Originally built in 1905 with neo-medieval eclectic architecture, the building housed the offices of customs and land registry. Since people visited here to pay their taxes, it led to the complex being nicknamed the “Palace of Fears” (Palazzo delle Paure). This historic palace occupies a part of the old city walls and now serves as Lecco’s cultural center and often hosts events and art exhibitions of local and national artists. (pass by)
- The monument is a marble sculpture built in 1927 that celebrates the Lecco geologist and naturalist who lived between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It was him who founded the civic museums of Lecco. (pass by)
- The San Nicolo church is one of the main places of worship in Lecco. It is located near the city center of Lecco, overlooking the lake from a short height. Basilica di San Nicolo has ancient roots with origins dating back to the XI century. During the following centuries it was expanded and underwent major restorations. The church has beautiful frescoes adorning its walls and a bell tower that was added later. (pass by)
- The bell tower of Lecco is an iconic symbol of Lecco with Monte Resegone in the background and is right next to the church and is fondly called the “matitone” (pencil) due to its similar appearance.
