Gravedona - S. Maria del Tiglio
It is believed, that this place was a "sacred ground" already in pagan times. Santa Maria del Tiglio (Tiglio = lime tree) was erected within the 11th or 12th century on foundations of a baptistry, dedicated to John the Baptist, that may date back to the 5th or 6th century.
This baptistery had been built on the plan of a "triconchos", it had three apses in clover-leaf shape (see: "Como - San Fedele").
Santa Maria del Tiglio was erected on the same design, it is as well a "triconchos". One of the apses can be seen to the right.
Neighbouring to the right is the parish church S. Vincenzo (right), that is probably as old, but got modified around 1600 - and now has a Baroque interior.
