Varese

Built around a historic settlement above Lake Varese, Varese grew into the provincial capital of northern Lombardy. The city lies between the lake and the wooded slopes of the Campo dei Fiori massif, part of a regional park rising behind its streets. Its best-known cultural landmark is the Sacro Monte di Varese, a pilgrimage complex of 14 chapels leading to the Sanctuary of Santa Maria del Monte and included in the UNESCO-listed Sacri Monti of Piedmont and Lombardy. In the centre, Palazzo Estense and its formal gardens recall the 18th-century court of Duke Francesco III d'Este.
