It is the only island on Lake Como. Naturally, you can only get to Isola Comacina by boat. The public boat service allow you to reach the island from anywhere on Lake Como.

The only Island on Lake Como, was the protagonist of the local history in Roman and Medieval times, resulting in a Roman military, a political centre, and one of the most important religious centres of diocese. The magnitude of the island in history is such to make us believe that it was the mythical place from which would rise the walls of “Magistri Comacini” (ars muraria), and also the point from which would start the whole process of development of Italian medieval art. The wonderful story of Comacina seems to have stopped abruptly in 1169, which marked the ‘annus horribilis’ it’s tragic fate, devastated and razed to the ground by Como and Barbarossa, the island declined rapidly, finishing during the following centuries in a state of neglect. Prized for its distinctive nature and splendid views, the Island Comacina regained it’s honour, since 1900, through the realization of the three houses of artists in rationalistic style, designed to make the Island a home of fine art, and thanks to a series of archaeological excavations conducted by scholars Ugo Monneret de Villard (1914) e Luigi Mario Belloni (1958-1978). To them goes the credit for having helped to define what Island Comacina is now: an archaeological site whose importance transcends local boundaries, so also to place it’s Place among the most interesting archaeological sites in northern Italy in the early middle ages.

Isola Comacina is the only island on Lake Como. Located in the waters off Tremezzina, just a few kilometers north of Argegno, this small piece of land is almost uninhabited and welcomes a lot of curious visitors in the period between March and October. Isola Comacina overlooks the Zoca de l’oli, a bay that takes its name from the local production of olives, which is favored by the particularly mild climate that characterizes the area.
