This is the most famous and sumptuous of Como’s historical residences: it was built between the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century by the architect Simone Cantoni. Passed from one nobleman to another, in 1925 it became property of the Municipality, which used it as a location for cultural events and renowned art exhibitions. If the entrance gate is open, enter and enjoy the park, leaving it along Via Cernobbio (otherwise, drive along the entire Via Cantoni car park and follow Via Bellinzona to the right).
