That is some statue, most impressive I have to say. It's a nice drive to it as well. And you come around the corner and next you see this enormous statue of San Carlo. Very impressive.

2nd highest statue in the world in which you can get in! It is hard to believe that it is more than 500 years old. A remarkable place with wonderful view to the lake. Please keep in mind that you will wait a bit to go to the top. Kids not allowed inside.

Nice view from the terrace of the Colossus. Maybe the price to go up is too high. However beautiful experience!
