Grand Hotel Villa Castagnola & Park

Highlight • Rest Area

The magnificent five-star Hotel Superior, located on the shores of Lake Lugano, is a charming property in a private, subtropical park. The magnificent complex was once the home of a Russian noble family and was converted into a hotel in 1885. The Grand Hotel Villa Castagnola is admired for its calm atmosphere, its elegance, as well as its discreet and courteous service. An enchanting oasis, far away from the hustle and bustle of modern life, an ideal place to enjoy yourself all year round.

St. George's Church

Highlight • Religious Site

In a panoramic position. High rectangular building with partly still medieval masonry, renovated in the years 1972/73.

Next to the south side stands the bell tower with the top floor crowned by four gables. Interior remodeled in baroque terms during the second half of the seventeenth century. In the panels: depiction of the Trinity and scenes from the lives of Saints George, Anthony of Padua and Mary, to whom the altars are dedicated. In the transept-like chapels: stucco altars; main altar with two columns with an altarpiece of the patron saint; in the chapel on the left, dedicated to the Madonna: a beautiful statue of the Virgin, surrounded by scenes from the Rosary. On the opposite altar: fresco of Sant'Antonio da Padova in the presence of the Madonna, framed by caryatid angels; the canteen was removed. In the last chapel: baptismal font with a painting of the Baptism of Christ, datable to the eighteenth century.

Monte Brè Funicular

Highlight • Structure

The Monte Brè funicular was opened in 1908 and was already designed as a link between the city and the mountain to offer Lugano residents a summer quarter where they could enjoy the cool, beautiful walks and wonderful views during the hottest season. The funicular connects the city center of Lugano to the summit of Monte Brè in just over 10 minutes, overcoming 629 meters of altitude over a total of 1,599 meters.
