View of Isola San Giulio from the Carl-Heinz Schroth Viewpoint
Highlight • Viewpoint
For many visitors to the Villa Bossi garden, this is their selfie moment with Carl Heinz.
For Carl Heinz, who lived on Lago d'Orta in the 1970s, this location was the most beautiful place in the world.
Take a look in the mirror and immortalize yourself with the director.
Honestly? It really is a beautiful location.
Well worth a visit.

Palace of the Community
Highlight • Historical Site
Located in Piazza Motta, the heart of the town of Orta, it was built in 1582. Here the General Council (composed of the deputies of the episcopal fief) exercised both legislative and executive power and can therefore be considered a symbol of the long self-government that characterized the Community of the Riviera.
An external staircase connects the large porch to the large single room on the first floor.
The external walls of the building are decorated with the coats of arms of some of the bishops of Novara who succeeded each other in the government of the region; the façade to the right of the entrance bears the coat of arms of Orla accompanied by the inscription "Hortus Conclusus" to underline both the geographical position and the autonomy of the Riviera.
That the palace was the seat of the legislative and executive powers is proven by the painting of a "Woman representing Justice" above the door, on which two angels can be seen carrying swords and scales on either side.

Mario Motta Square, Orta San Giulio
Highlight • Settlement
The Piazza Mario Motta: The atmospheric square in the center of Orta was named after the Italian freedom fighter Mario Motta, who fought in the Piedmontese resistance. The square itself is a prime example of Italian architecture.
Colorful facades on the east side, opposite the lake with a row of chestnut trees (formerly elms). The small Palazzo della Comunità with a foundation of picturesque arcades (popular as a wedding backdrop) is unmissable. Shops, bakeries, restaurants, bars and boat docks are spread around the entire square.
On the north side, the alley Salita di Motta leads up to the church of Maria Trost and the Sacro Monte, other alleys - almost star-shaped - open up other parts of Orta.
