Villa Della Porta Bozzolo

Highlight • Historical Site

Built in the 16th century by the della Porta family, the villa was renovated about a hundred years later and enlarged with a cutting-edge garden for its time. A striking feature of the gardens are the four terraces, connected by an impressive staircase and an avenue of cypress trees. Worth a detour!

Church of St. Anthony on the Mountain

Highlight • Religious Site

Chiesa Sant’Antonio al Monte (Porto Valtravaglia)
Church of San Antonio sul Monte (Porto Valtravaglia)
The origins of the church can be traced back a long way: the primitive Romanesque structures, still partially visible in the typical barrel-shaped interior, date back to around 1000/1200. In the past, on the day of San Rocco, patron of Nasca, the Naschesi would ascend to the small church in a large procession. The unique cave church, dedicated to Saint Anthony Abbot of the Desert, was also a well-known place of pilgrimage
