The Basilica dedicated to San Nicolò is located just north of the historical center of Lecco and includes the adjacent 96 meter-high bell tower. The Cathedral dates back to the 7th century, when a previous version of the current building was constructed on top of the remains of an ancient Roman fortification. In the 12th century the building was completely rebuilt in Romanesque style, on a three-nave plan, at the end of the 16th century under some restoration work involving the façade, the stairs and the bell tower. The neoclassical façade was made in the 18th cenuty, while various restorationa and renovations gave the cathedral its current appearance. The interior is well worth a visit and worth climbing every single step. The curved stucco ceiling with frescoes is awesome, so is the dome. Admission is free, although a (small) donation will always be appreciated.

Small church beside the monastery of friars of Order of servants of Mary built at the beginning of 12th century and rebuilt several times until what we can see today finished in 16th century. Outside the church is very simple but is wonderful inside with two main altars . Beautiful frescoes decorated them.
