Also, one should never pass by the Tempio Voltiano - a museum dedicated to science, and in particular, Alessandro Volta and his work. It is worth noting that this is the most visited museum in Como. In addition to the permanent exhibition displaying exhibits related to Volta (both to the physicist's scientific activities and his personal life), one can see ancient tools that once helped people explore the world. No less interesting is the museum called Pinacoteca di Palazzo Volpi, which houses a magnificent collection of artworks. The gallery is divided into thematic zones: Middle Ages, Renaissance, Enlightenment and New Time, Newest Time (20th century). The building housing the Pinacoteca is no less remarkable: it is an old mansion of the noble Volpi family built in 1633 under the guidance of Pietro Paolo Raimondi.
Those who wish to touch the antiquity should go explore Terme Romane inherited from ancient times. It is especially interesting to visit the terms in the evening, when the illumination is turned on, giving the area a special charm. It is noteworthy that they are located directly under the car park built on top, therefore, walking around the city (namely along Viale Lecco), one should pay attention to details. Connoisseurs of theatrical art will be interested in visiting the Teatro Sociale. Its building stands on the site of the medieval castle Torre Rotonda. The theater was built in 1813 in the neoclassical style. During World War II, it served as an alternative to the famous La Scala in Milan, since the latter was destroyed.
