Isola Comacina, Lake island in Tremezzina, Italy
The single island of Lake Como stretches across the water near the western shore, featuring archaeological sites and three modernist houses built in 1939.
The island served as a Roman stronghold in 587 under Francio's command until the Lombards successfully besieged it after months of resistance.
The Antiquarium Museum exhibits Roman colonnades and early Christian artifacts, presenting evidence of settlements from different historical periods.
Access to the island requires boat transportation, with regular services operating from various points around Lake Como between March and October.
In 1175, Bishop Vidulfo placed a curse on the island, declaring that bells would never ring and construction would bring death to workers.
