Attractions

• The Collegiata di San Vittore il Moro ( Canonica ) is a Romanesque church that was built in 1137 on the foundations of an old church. It is one of the most important examples of Romanesque architecture in the province of Varese. Frescos with figures of apostles overcome by Christ in an almond , symbols of the evangelists and crucifixion from the 15th and 16th centuries are preserved in the apse, in the right aisle and in the sacristy. The organ built around 1700 should also be mentioned.

The Collegiata preserves antiphonaries from the 12th and 14th centuries, which are important for the study of Ambrosian music. Since 1972 the classical music festival “Stagione Musicale della Canonica” has been held in the Canonica from July to September.
