Following
the main road Sebina on the west side of the lake in the
direction of Lovere, we pass the nautical Yard of Riva, then
a few bars, restaurants directly on the lakeside with
beaches for relaxing moments in the sun.Just before Predore
one encounters a small tourist port and the Chiesetta
romanica di S. Giorgio from the XII th Century. It
has a squat Bell-tower with two levels and two bells and was
reconstructed in 1983. Many evidences have been found to
confirm that this building already existed in the Roman era,
such as coins, capitals e mosaics. The uphill historic
centre has small alleys and houses built of stones. Almost
nothing is left of the medieval castle and the fortress.
The
Chiesa San
Giovanni Battista
is a beautiful exhibition in itself, with an entrance portal
surmounted by a gable sustained by columns. This altogether
is in perfect harmony with its position facing the lake.
Inside the representation of the
Madonna con San Felice da Cantalice.
In
the ancient centre on the lakeside we find the Chiesa
Arcipresbiteriale S. Giovanni Battista built in the
XIV th Century. The façade towards the lake presents a
portal in Sarnico stones. The inside has one bay and is
covered by a roof of trusses.
Directly on the lake we see the Torre
Dimezzata of the XII Century that was part of the
fortification of Predore. |
