excellent road to avoid the big road, the Salitone di Golasecca, a few cars and a few potholes, but nothing too dangerous

Pleasant little beach with a beautiful view of Ticino, a docking system for boats and a pleasant refreshment point where you can stop for a break.

Built as a fortress between the end of the 13th and the beginning of the 14th century by order of the Visconti family. Later modified into a noble residence. Very well preserved.
