The lakes and our territory are enriched by places of worship and monuments of great historical-religious significance. The Sacromonte of Orta, located on Lake Orta, houses a Way of the Cross formed by a series of chapels with paintings and statues depicting the life of Saint Saint Francis, frescoed by local artists. Domodossola’s Sacromonte, on the other hand, is famous for its 15 Baroque chapels depicting the Passion of Christ. Ghiffa, on Lake Maggiore, on the other hand, is home to the Sacred Mount of the Holy Trinity, with its imposing basilica and a series of richly decorated chapels. The Colossus of San Carlone in Arona is a 35-meter-high statue representing St. Charles Borromeo, one of the region’s patron saints. The Sanctuary of the Madonna del Sasso, the complex is built on a rocky outcrop that provides an exceptional vantage point to embrace all of Lake Orta and the mountains at a glance.

These places are just some of the places of worship and monuments in the lake area, which offers a unique combination of art, history, and spirituality, representing important attractions for visitors interested in religious culture and artistic beauty.
