history

The village was first mentioned as Castigniola in 1335 . Archaeological finds from Roman times indicate an earlier settlement. In the Middle Ages there was a neighborhood ( Vicinia ) encompassing Castagnola, Ruvigliana and Suvigliana around the old church of San Giorgio .

Cassarate, first mentioned in 1335 as Casorago , was founded by the Bishop of Como and did not need to pay taxes (cassina). It was connected to the San Michele Castle . The town of Burgus , which belongs to the castle , fell apart at the end of the Middle Ages. After 1850 Cassarate became part of the infrastructure of Lugano and in 1896 the tram line terminated.

In the 20th century, Castagnola became the largest residential and holiday area in the Lugano area. It was made accessible in 1908 by the Funicolare Monte Brè funicular and in 1955 by a trolleybus line.
