The fortress of Angera stands majestically on a spur of rock overlooking the southern bank of Lake Maggiore : houses imposing Historic Rooms, the Sala delle Maioliche, Doll and Toy Museum, the largest in Europe and medieval gardens. We head to the Hermitage of Santa Caterina del Sasso, overlooking the lake exudes Holiness and mysticism, embedded in white limestone rock, admiring a danse with macabre scenes in the “Conventino” suspended between rock and water.
