Church of San Carlos




Yet another beautiful Menaggio church. At the upper limit of my walk today was a church built in in 1614 so that Cinzio Calvi and his wife could have their tombs in it.

San Carlos was built during a period of Spanish domination during this time, so the church carries a Spanish carrier inside and out. I couldn't see the bell tower (too many high walls all around the church), but you can see it down in the town.

There were large paintings hanging from the walls of the Church, as well as several murals painted on the wall of a man (St. Peter?) watching and writing in his book.

After making the climb I took the same route back in the drizzle that had been going on all day.
