Gravellona Toce

Gravellona Toce stands where the Strona joins the Toce in northern Piedmont, a position that has made it a meeting point between the Ossola Valley, Lake Maggiore and Lake Orta. The broad Toce corridor has long carried routes from the Alpine valleys towards the lakes and the Po plain, and the town remains a significant road junction in the province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola. Gravellona Toce’s Antiquarium preserves material from a Roman-era settlement and necropolis, giving an older context to this working town. South of the centre, the Toce flows on towards Lake Maggiore; the lake’s western shore leads to Verbania and the Borromean Islands.
