cathedral of como (duomo)

人也挺多，科莫本来就不大，不在看湖的人就在看这个小教堂了吧，对面有几家餐厅，不过都不觉得让人有食欲！只是拍拍外面的小雕像，很精致

一进入教堂就可以马上感受到教堂里宁静庄严的氛围. 堂前有神父在讲道, 虽然我们并非天主教徒, 也听不太懂, 但是静静坐在台下也能够感受到平静.两旁的忏悔箱里也有神父可以听信徒的忏悔祷告. 这是我第一次看到真的有人在忏悔厢前祷告, 格外觉得特别.

It's not like Milan Duomo but it's also a nice church to see. Along the narrow streets of Como you reach her. It has some nice coffes in the square outsider so you can have your espresso and enjoy the view.

We walked past this impressive building many times during our stay on lake Como so just had to visit Not sure of times when it is open as the doors were locked at times but obviously open at other timesNot a massive building but extremely dominating. We entered from the main road and passed the fountain flanked by old cannons before climbing the steps into the cathedral. I wasn't happy with the interior glass doors as I have a bit of a phobia with glass - but soon through and into the buildingFor a non religious person such as myself, you forget religion immediately and marvel at the buildingAs all the plaques etc are in Italian you have to guess at the inscriptions but we still got the gist, lovely depiction of the last supper is a must to seeWe were very lucky to leave on the hour and spent lovely 10 mins watching the large bell in the tower clang awayPs look for the Terrapins in the fountain

An interesting Cathedral with wonderful interiors. Had to ask in the end a curator where the behead frogs could be found. (outside the NE door) Also an interesting human statute sitting on air outside. (Look closely to see the poles hidden under the gowns)

Came here just before Christmas the lighting and decoration was amazing!!! Next to the Duomo there is an amazing market and it is very near the lake.

No trip to Como should be without a visit to this great cathedral. Stunningly impressive, it is refreshingly down to earth a reflective of a house of God rather than a tourist attraction. The stained glass windows are amazing as are the ornate ceilings. Be advised, Sunday's are reserved for worship and tourists are requested to defer there visit to another day.

Nice to walk around, take some pictures! There are some stairs going up, and you could say how cathedral makes the view of city more beautiful.

Enjoyed visiting the Como Cathedral .although being a Sunday was quite crowded and that made the visit short.

Dedicated to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, it has a prominent profile that you can catch from the lake, the surrounding hills, and just passing by train, an affirmation of its importance expressed by a diocese wanted to differentiate themselves from Milan.The original Romanesque building of the old Santa Maria Maggiore was extended to create the vast space of the new cathedral, Gothic in the design and plan, and then gradually evolved into the Renaissance style resulting in its present harmonious and unified beauty.

Como Cathedral (Italian: Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta) is very nice located near Como lake. Cathedral is from gothic time.

Unlike the Duomo in Milan, this. Is smaller and less grand but still beautiful on the inside as well as the outside. There are no crowds to wrestle to get in or when exploring the inside of the cathedral. The courtyards are pretty too, not littered by markets and stores. Plus Como is a nice place to visit away from the traffic, noise and graffiti laden Milan.

Sitting beside the Duoma Como is a lovely courtyard and we enjoyed a harpist playing superbly - in fact we bought his CD and gave him 20E despite him only asking for 10E

Just of the main street , after a very long journey was nice to sit an contemplate in the calm atmosphere . Most of the Cathedrals we visit on the rest of this trip were noisy , crowded and touristy .

Como is a beautiful place though in mid-July it's hot and filled with tourists! The Cathedral was welcome respite from both crowds and sun, and is magnificent. Not to be missed.
