Como, in brief.

Lake Como, centuries of silk weaving.

The lake's namesake city, set where the water meets the mountains at the southern end of the western branch.

A center of fine silk weaving for centuries, Como pairs a Gothic cathedral and walled old town with a waterfront promenade and funicular to Brunate.
