Bellano is a charming village that combines history, architecture, and natural wonders. Its historic centre, characterised by an orthogonal structure of Roman origin, retains a predominantly medieval soul, with its characteristic contrade – narrow stone streets that provide coolness during hot summers. As you stroll, you can admire the majestic prepositural church of Santi Giorgio, Nazaro e Celso, the elegant patrician palaces with stone portals, evocative courtyards, and heraldic emblems engraved in the 18th century. The large ancient port testifies to the strategic role Bellano played in lake trade and transport over the centuries.
Not to be missed: the Orrido di Bellano, a spectacular natural gorge carved into the rock, with panoramic walkways offering a captivating experience between water and light.
