Santa Caterina del Sasso

Santa Caterina del Sasso is an unusual erem suspended on a rocky cliff above Lake Maggiore. Founded in the 12th century by merchant Alberto Besozzi, who survived a shipwreck and decided to live as a hermit.

The place impresses with its rich history, architecture combining Romanesque and Renaissance styles and beautiful frescoes from the 13th-17th centuries.

The terrace offers a breathtaking view of the lake and surrounding mountains. It is the ideal place for those seeking spiritual reflection, architecture lovers and those who appreciate picturesque landscapes.
