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". The walls were probably covered with frescoes, some of the can still be seen, after the baroque interior had been removed during the restoration of the church.
