Off 2024 / A journey to discover projects and places inside and outside the ancient walls.

Our journey in and outside the ancient city walls continues in this sixth edition, dedicated to discovering a selection of projects, activities and hidden places.

The city walls of Como, which surround the historic city centre on three sides, are still well preserved for almost the entirety of their original perimeter and date back to the medieval period. They were first built on the initiative of Julius Caesar in the first half of the 1st century B.C. about 20 metres inside the structures that are visible today. These garrisons were part of a complex defensive structure. Today they maintain a dense network of streets, courtyards and gardens to be discovered within the city.
