San Giacomo Church

San Giacomo Church displays Roman-Lombard architectural elements with two bell towers, one of which became the Broletto civic tower of Como.

The earliest documentation of San Giacomo Church dates to 1144, though its construction occurred in the 11th century during Rainaldo's episcopate.

The church interior contains early 20th-century mosaics, a late 16th-century altar, and a polychrome wooden sculpture of the Buried Christ.

The church underwent major restoration work starting December 2021 to preserve the dome's structural integrity through private funding.

The first assemblies of the Como Municipality took place within the church walls before the construction of the Broletto in 1215.
