Civic Art Gallery
The building was constructed in the 17th century, and has been an art gallery since the 1980s. It exhibits sculptures, portraits, and tapestries by famous artists.
Temple Volta
A nice stop on your stroll along the waterfront, the temple to Volta is designed in neoclassical style. It houses an exhibition about Volta (a native of Como who invented the electric battery). The front of the building showcases two statues, representing science and faith. It was featured on the Italian 10,000-lira note before the introduction of the euro.
Monumento ai caduti
An interesting, imposing, 33-m-high building, it is one of the tallest structures near the water. Built in the 1930s to honour Italian soldiers killed in World War I.
"I Lariani" were promoted in 2024 and now play soccer in Serie A, the top tier. B. With a capacity of 13,600, Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia is too cramped for top tier matches: it hasn't been announced whether it will be upgraded or if Como will play elsewhere. Sinigaglia (1884-1916) was a champion rower, killed in action in the war with Austria.
