The Sacro Monte of Varese is part of the 9 UNESCO World Heritage Sacred Mountains in Lombardy and Piedmont.

The route of the 14 chapels goes up for 2 km on a cobbled path and is easy and recommended for all ages. In the past, pilgrims from all over the world walked along it, but the view is exciting even for those who are not making a pilgrimage. The chapels are, in fact, arranged on the crest of the mountain, thus enjoying the view below, including lakes, hills and the Po Valley.

The highlight is the Sanctuary of Santa Maria del Monte, which houses the Coronation of the Madonna as the 15th Mystery of the Rosary, and the Romanesque Crypt.

In addition to the picturesque village, the Baroffio Museum and the Ludovico Pogliaghi House Museum can also be visited at Sacro Monte.

Varese, also known as the garden city, is the greenest provincial capital in Lombardy.

A city whose natural and scenic surroundings and villas have fascinated visitors of all times, including Stendhal and Leopardi, who in a letter to his sister Pauline, described Varese as ‘the little Versailles’.

The porticos of Corso Matteotti, the Estensi Gardens of the Palazzo Comunale, Piazza Monte Grappa with its bell tower, the Broletto, the Basilica of San Vittore with its Bernascone bell tower, and the Festival of the Bonfire of St. Anthony are just a few examples of a Varese rich in attractions and traditions not to be missed.
