This is an ancient signal tower dating back to the 12th century. The structure was part of the defensive system of Comacina Island. After the island's destruction by the people of Como (1169), it remained abandoned for centuries. https://fondoambiente.it/luoghi/torre-del-soccorso-detta-del-barbarossa-84041?ldc

The Castle of Vezio is a medieval fortress that has stood for more than a thousand years on the promontory overlooking Varenna. The terrace adjacent to the castle offers a breathtaking view of Lake Como. Also noteworthy is the permanent exhibit dedicated to the Lariosaurus, an extinct marine reptile from the Middle Triassic, which gave rise to a legend similar to that of the Loch Ness monster.
