Angera
Angera is situated in a wonderful creek in the south part of Verbano. The
Rocca and S. Quirico hills are fit for walks with a constant view of the
lake. The most ancient nucleus of the town, that is the "historicai centre",
has a street plant which goes back to the period of the Roman Empire. During
the Roman Age, in the first centuries of the Empire, Angera was an important
part interested in the commercial exchanges between the north of the lake
(Switzerland) and the plain (Milan).
Rocca Borromea, one of the best preserved
castles of the province of Varese, dominates the town. The recently carried
out restorations have allowed the presence, in its great halls, of numerous
seasonal art-exhibitions. Civic museum with prehistoric and Roman exhibits
located in two halls of a sixteenth century villa. Sanctuary of Madonna
della Riva (1622), ex convent of Santa Caterina (end 500), church of Santa
Maria Assunta (already mentioned in 1500), Austrian port built in 1820.
