200 m
Former Albergo Posta
Terragni submits a design for a small hotel. The municipal authorities reject it. Then they reject another—and another. Six variants later, this compact building has become architecture’s answer to a painfully long email thread.
200 m
Monument to Alessandro Volta
One marble scientist, one brutally short inscription, and an entire square loses its old name. Como pulled off a remarkably efficient civic rebrand.
250 m
Casa Bazzi
You arrive at number 3 looking for one old house. Slight problem: Casa Bazzi is three houses sharing a single address—and about five centuries of building history.
300 m
Monument to the European Resistance
You’re on Lungolago Mafalda di Savoia, firmly in Como—then the monument’s four-word Italian title suddenly expands the map to Europe.

Roman Theatre Remains at Via Vitani 13
Number 13 looks like an ordinary Como address. Then, in 1990, excavations inside uncovered seven radial walls pointing to a much bigger story: a vanished Roman theatre.

The Rusca have won. Money is not enough; according to Como tradition, they want their rivals’ tower cut down to size.
