The united parishes of Pallanza, Suna and Cavandone open the doors of five historic churches for a project to enhance the local heritage.

The visits are free, but it is possible to book a guide to deepen the history and details of the works. The initiative, with free offering, touches San Leonardo, Santo Stefano, Madonna di Campagna, San Remigio and San Fabiano, each with different opening hours.
