The Castles of Cannero are three rocky islets located in Lake Maggiore opposite Cannero Riviera, two of which feature the ruins of ancient fortifications.<\/p>\n
These fascinating ruins, praised by writers and reproduced by engravers and painters, are a shared heritage between three Verbanese territories (Lombardy, Piedmont, and Ticino) and two countries (Italy and Switzerland).
\nThe two largest of the three islets, a tiny Verbanese archipelago, have attracted people willing to settle there throughout history: people eager to find safety, people with the ambition to make them an impregnable fortress. For this reason, in just under a century and a half, between the early 15th and mid-16th centuries, they witnessed two different settlement experiences.<\/p>\n
How to get there:
\nBy boat from various locations such as Cannero Riviera, Luino, Cannobio, and Verbania.
\nThe experience includes the boat trip, and tickets can be booked in advance.<\/p>\n
