Imposing church which is always perceived as a striking building from the lake. So you have to dare to look from above and take a closer look at the church. Be sure to go into the church courtyard and enjoy the view of the lake from there. The Church of Saints Eusebio and Vittore is a sacred building on a hill not far from the town of Peglio, a municipality in the province of Como.
