Porlezza, Lombardy, Italy

Porlezza is a town in the province of Como in Lombardy, Italy about 60 km north of Milan and is situated on the edge of the Swiss/Italian lake, Lake Lugano.

Porlezza is considered to be a typical medieval town with a number of baroque works important locally for their artistic content. St Maurizio is a Romanesque church which was buried for centuries and was dug out in the 19th century. St Maria dei miracoli which was built in the 16th century is also one of the highlights of the town.
