2. Palazzo Delle Paure
Originally built in 1905 with neo-medieval eclectic architecture, the building housed the offices of customs and land registry. Since people visited here to pay their taxes, it led to the complex being nicknamed the “Palace of Fears” (Palazzo delle Paure). This historic palace occupies a part of the old city walls and now serves as Lecco’s cultural center and often hosts events and art exhibitions of local and national artists.
3. Monumento a Mario Cermenati
The monument is a marble sculpture built in 1927 that celebrates the Lecco geologist and naturalist who lived between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It was him who founded the civic museums of Lecco.
4. Basilica San Nicolo
The San Nicolo church is one of the main places of worship in Lecco. It is located near the city center of Lecco, overlooking the lake from a short height. Basilica di San Nicolo has ancient roots with origins dating back to the XI century. During the following centuries it was expanded and underwent major restorations. The church has beautiful frescoes adorning its walls and a bell tower that was added later.
5. Campanile di San Nicolo
The bell tower of Lecco is an iconic symbol of Lecco with Monte Resegone in the background and is right next to the church and is fondly called the “matitone” (pencil) due to its similar appearance. At 96 meters, it is one of the tallest bell towers in Europe and the second tallest in Italy. The climb to reach the top is on foot with about 400 stairs.
6. Monumento ad Antonio Stoppani

The church dates back to the thirteenth century, when it was known as the church of San Calimero. It became the seat of the confraternity of the Disciplini of Santa Marta towards the end of the fourteenth century.
8. Torre Viscontea
A trace of the ancient city castle remains on Piazza XX Settembre: the Torre Viscontea. Its name is linked to that of Matteo Visconti, who had it built in 1296 and it was part of the city walls. The first floor is now used for temporary exhibitions.

12. Santuario Nostra Signora della Vittoria
The sanctuary was built in neo-Romanesque style in 1918 as a tribute to the fallen of the First World War. The 61 meter high bell tower has a three-metre iron cross which, inside, houses a relic of the cross on which Jesus was crucified.
