Discover Turate: Church Art, Palazzo and Parco Comunale

Turate combines impressive church art, an architecturally significant palazzo and a large public green space. This gives the town different points of interest for a trip where historical landmarks and time spent outdoors exist side by side.

Frescoes and Religious Art

The Chiesa dei Santi Apostoli Pietro e Paolo contains a fresco cycle depicting the lives of the apostles Peter and Paul. Giovanni Garavaglia created the cycle between 1949 and 1952.

The Santuario di Santa Maria in Campagna also has a distinctive religious character. The present-day chapel houses a painting of the Madonna and Child dating from the 14th century. The Santuario was elevated to the status of a sanctuary by Cardinal Schuster in 1945. This gives you another focal point if you are interested in sacred sites and historic works of art in Turate.

Palazzo Caimi - Pollini

Palazzo Caimi - Pollini is one of the 27 architecturally significant villas in the flat part of the Province of Como. Its reception hall is now the municipal council chamber and is entirely decorated with frescoes. The palazzo therefore combines the representative architecture of a villa with a function that is still used by the municipality today.

Palazzo Caimi - Pollini is opened to visitors as part of regularly organised events.

Santa Maria in Campagna and Parco Comunale

The Chiesa di Santa Maria in Campagna stands in the district of the same name in Turate. The district is still characterised by its agricultural surroundings and a certain distance from the town centre. This distinct character sets Santa Maria in Campagna apart from the more central cultural sites and makes the district a quieter-feeling part of the municipality.

The Parco Comunale, by contrast, provides a large public green space for leisure, sport and contact with nature. The park is designed to be accessible. If, when planning your stay, you would like to consider an accessible outdoor area in addition to churches and historic spaces, this specific site is one of the important places to visit in Turate.

A Possible Event Date

The traditional Fiera del Fiore will take place in Turate on 1 May 2026. The date of 1 May 2026 provides a specific timeframe for a stay in Turate. It may give you a special reason to view Turate, with its churches, Palazzo Caimi - Pollini and Parco Comunale, as a destination for a culturally and scenically focused stay. When choosing a hotel, you can set the focus of your trip between historic art, sacred sites, events and experiences in nature.
