Description
One of the first ‘landmarks’ along the Antica Strada Regina hike from Menaggion to Rezzonico in the Lake Como area of Italy is the small hamlet of Nobiallo. At the end of the village is the Sanctuary of "Santa Maria della Pace" was built in 1658 on the occasion of the Peace of the Pyrenees, which ended the Thirty Year War between France and Spain. The octagonal tower is where the small chapel is located but unfortunately the door was locked. I peeked in through the windows at a beautiful 18th century altar.
