Basilica of St. Giacomo

The Basilica of St James, the first Apostle to be martyred, is a beautiful, quiet place for reflection and prayer. What do you believe in so much that you would give your life? It was also the Blessed Virgin Mary’s birthday September 8, so there were two special masses in her honor.

The Basilica of St James is a beautiful, quiet place for reflection and prayer. In the heart of beautiful Bellagio, it can be very busy at times!

Basilica of San Giacomo is located in downtown Bellagio, in the upper part of town reachable via stairs, or a detouring path around without them. This small, yet interesting Church dates back to 12 cent, built in Romanesque style. We found the interiors with stone decorations very nice

Its a magical and beautiful Basillica Always overcrowed though but the beauty makes you forget that. Take a picture and make memories.

Open and free for pilgrimage and Good Friday if you are Catholic there’s an ancient cross enclosed in metal must be 5th century

A beautiful gothic themed church. The quiet and beautiful chapel interior will strike a tone with you once you enter; making you contemplative and serene. In the church itself - there are seats at the front for visitors or worshippers. On the left side are the artistic showcases; with even a contemporary piece by a local and recent artiste who contributed a modern piece into the church. Other artistic pieces date back to the churches founding so they are quite ancient. On the right of the church you can see their organ.

The basilica of San Giacomo is one of the oldest church in Bellagio, located away from the streets and steps of Bellagio but close enough that you will not miss. An ancient basilica that bring an old charm to como. Worth a visit.

Beautiful and peacefull place. God bless Belaggio
