Isola Comacina, the only island of Lake Como, has a long history: a stronghold in Roman and early medieval times, it was destroyed by the city of Como in 1169.
The book “L’isola e il santo graal sul Lario” explores the legends that connect the island to the Holy Grail. These are hypotheses and legends, not historical evidence — but a fascinating read before or after passing the island by boat.
Isola Comacina is part of Explore the Gardens and The Grand Tour.
