View of Morcote and Lake Lugano

Highlight • Viewpoint

Morcote is a former fishing village on the shores of Lake Lugano. In the narrow streets, you stroll along the richly decorated facades of ancient patrician houses. Also worth seeing are the church of Santa Maria del Sasso and the beautifully landscaped Parco Scherrer with its typical Mediterranean vegetation.

Santa Maria del Sasso Church and Cemetery, Morcote

Highlight • Religious Site

At the end of the village of Morcote, which was first mentioned in documents in the 10th century, 400 steps lead to a viewing terrace on which the parish church of Santa Maria del Sasso stands. It was probably built in the 13th century and rebuilt in 1462. The orientation was changed in 1758. The late Romanesque bell tower was raised in the 16th century.
The frescoes in the old choir, created in 1513 and attributed to Domenico Sursnicus, are partly hidden behind the organ and depict scenes from the Passion of Jesus. Other frescoes, including the miraculous catch of fish, saints and Renaissance decorations, date back to the turn of the 16th/17th century. The images from the lives of Saints John and Francis, the prophets and sibyls are attributed to Giovan Battista Tarilli.
The stuccoes from 1591 in the Sacrament Chapel refer to the brotherhoods of the 17th century. The illusionist paintings in the chapel opposite are in the Baroque style and were created by Cipriano Pelli from Aranno around 1795.
The main altar made of marble dates from 1758 and bears a statue of the Madonna from the 16th century. The paintings on the sides were created by Davide Antonio Fossati in 1799.

September 6, 2024,240906 🇨🇭 Ein Rundgang durch Morcote und den Scherrer-Park

Today we visited the village of Morcote on Lake Lugano and the Scherrer Park in the immediate vicinity.
Morcote is very picturesque, there are countless narrow and winding streets and hundreds of steps. The churches and the monumental cemetery are particularly worth seeing.
After an extensive tour of the town, we took a look at the Scherrer Park.
