Santa Caterina del Sasso
The Hermitage of Santa Caterina del Sasso is certainly one of the most interesting sights of Lago Maggiore. They say that the Hermitage was founded by a wealthy local merchant who, having survived a storm while crossing the lake, decided to go into retreat on this part of the lake side, and conduct the life of a hermit. So, the construction of a chapel was ordered. The chapel dates back to the 12th century!
