The Basilica of Sant'Abbondio is a Romanesque church just south of Como's old town, built by Benedictine monks in the 11th century and consecrated by Pope Urban II in 1095. It has two slender bell towers, and its apse is covered with a 14th-century fresco cycle of the life of Christ. The adjoining monastery now houses part of the University of Insubria.
Villa Olmo is a neoclassical villa on the western shore of Lake Como, built from 1782 for Marquis Innocenzo Odescalchi to designs by the Swiss architect Simone Cantoni. Owned by the city of Como since 1924, it hosts exhibitions and events, and its formal lakeside garden with statues and a fountain is open to the public.
