Aerial photo (1954)

The village is 345 m above sea level. M., in Malcantone , on the eastern slope of the Tresa valley and 2.5 km northwest of the Ponte Tresa TI station on the Lugano –Ponte Tresa line. The municipality includes the following fractions: Croglio, Castelrotto, Ronco, Madonna del Piano, Barico, Purasca and Biogno-Beride.

history

In the Middle Ages, Croglio had the status of a borgo (1335 burgus de Crolio), probably because it had a defensive function against the neighboring Milanese area. In 1126, almost at the end of the Ten Years' War between Como and Milan (1118–1127), the Milanese troops destroyed Albeleto Castle, which was part of the Como estate. According to tradition, its ruins would have given the name Castelrotto (Castrum Ruptum).
