Baradello Castle Private Visit

At the scheduled time, we'll meet in Piazza Camerleta. This spot is near Baradello Castle, an undisputed symbol of the city located in the Spina Verde Park that towers atop the hill of the same name.

Once we've all arrived, we'll enter this imposing building's different spaces and admire its architecture. This castle was commissioned by Emperor Frederick Barbarossa and built on the remains of Byzantine constructions from the 6th century, dominating the city and the lake from above.

We'll then visit the best-preserved structure in the entire complex, which is the square Romanesque tower. This construction towers at almost 92 feet (28 metres) high and can be seen all over the town. From this fascinating tower, we'll be able to admire Como reflected in the lake and the breathtaking view that sweeps from the peaks of the Alps to the Po Valley and the Apennines. Don't forget your camera!

If you choose the tour with an aperitif, you'll have a selection of delicious local snacks and a bottle of wine between three people while admiring incredible views from the terrace of the Frederick rampart.

After 2 hours of touring the castle, we'll return to the starting point and finish our activity.
