10 Monuments & Statues in Lake Como That You Shouldn't Miss

December 28, 2021 Kiesha Cripe

A gorgeous spot that’s a convenient day trip from Milan, Lake Como recently earned fame as home to Hollywood star George Clooney. But celeb-spotting aside, it’s known for jaw-dropping natural beauty, elegant old villas—and the scenic towns surrounding the lake. Check out Varenna, Bellagio, and Menaggio, which offer great views, historic churches, and water-based activities such as ferries and passenger-only boats.

Monument of Alessandro Volta

Reviewed By CRPS-paul

Wow, can’t believe that we stumbled upon such a historical exhibit in Como. I have now visited two birthplaces, exhibits and monuments of the most inspiring geniuses of all time. Nicolas Tesla a few years back in Croatia and now in Como which to tell you the truth I had never heard of before our visit. A Stunningly gorgeous city and with none other than the Alessandro Volta’s scientific experiments of the late 18th century in a Temple named after him. In this building there were countless experiments in showcases all in fine restored and some in original condition which lead up to his most famous experimentation of all time the discovery of the battery. Imagine, without this genius where would our modern world be but without the IPhone, portable computers and of course the electric car. Signed a seasonal Canadian traveler.

Whenever I am travelling I always make time to give thanks to those people who had the courage and bravery to stand up and fight for what they believed to be right and to make the world a better place for us all, this memorial is worth a few minutes of anyone's time.

Modern imposant Art Symbol, for our electric life, in honour of Alessandro Volta, to remember the unit of Volt, a mark of power, (I think), impressive, near the lake of Como.
