Upper Lake
Gravedona ed Uniti
A Romanesque church on the water and the historic capital of the Tre Pievi.
Gravedona was for centuries the centre of the Tre Pievi, the upper lake's de facto small republic, and it keeps two monuments: Santa Maria del Tiglio, the Romanesque church with its tower built into the facade, and Palazzo Gallio, which Cardinal Tolomeo Gallio had built on the shore in 1586.
