Cardano al Campo and the Parco Naturale della Valle del Ticino: regional park and river park

Cardano al Campo is part of the Parco Naturale della Valle del Ticino, which was established in January 1974 and is considered Italy’s first regional park and first river park. The nature park provides the landscape setting; the local churches add a second focus through their architectural history.

The Sentiero del Campo: starting point at the sports field, unpaved surface and an almost entirely level route

The Sentiero del Campo begins at the sports field in Cardano al Campo. The path is entirely unpaved and almost completely level. This makes it possible to plan an outing on a route defined by a natural surface and an almost level course. The entirely unpaved surface is a separate planning factor when choosing your footwear for the path.

Santuario di Santa Maria Nascente: reconstruction from 1641 to 1644 over an oratory and uncovered foundations

The Santuario di Santa Maria Nascente was rebuilt between 1641 and 1644 over a 16th-century oratory. During restoration work, the old walls and foundations of the predecessor church were uncovered; they are visible through glass panels in the floor.

Chiesa di Sant’Anastasio Martire and Liquore TIM

The exterior of the Chiesa di Sant’Anastasio Martire is designed in a Neo-Romanesque medieval style and features exposed brickwork. This distinguishes its exterior design from the Baroque façade of the Chiesa di San Pietro. The history of Liquore TIM is also closely connected with Cardano al Campo. Angelo Colombo founded the family distillery “Angelo Colombo SA” there in 1900, bearing his name.
