Tower of Barbarossa
Located in a picturesque location in the center of the village of Maggiana, a hamlet of Mandello del Lario, the Torre called Barbarossa allows us to take a dip in the past. The name of the tower in fact leads back to the hospitality of the Mandelli family, who in 1158, according to tradition, would have made the Emperor Federico I stay, called "Barbarossa", who would have used it to observe the naval battles on the prospective branch. 

Inside the building, there is currently the Ethnographic Museum which tells and illustrates, through objects and images dating back to the end of the 19th century and the first half of the following century, the events of Maggiana and the ways of life and work of the communities that they lived in these areas.
