Another wonderful historical monument is the Chiesa di Santo Stefano. This church was built in the Roman style, and despite the fact that it is rather small, it immediately becomes clear when you look at it, that it is worth paying a visit. The fact is that peace and tranquility are assured here – that is, the essence of which people come to church is realized here. The Chiesa di San Giuseppe impresses with its chic interior – sculptures, altar, and frescoes. The monument was built at the beginning of the 16th century, and the facade was rebuilt at the beginning of the 17th century. From an architectural point of view, you will find the Chiesa della Madonnina in Prato attractive. This church is also not very large, but it immediately catches the eye. It was built in 1574, and there is an interesting story connected with the cathedral, which you definitely should listen to.
The most charming fountain in the city is the Fontana di Piazza Monte Grappa. You should, like everyone else, throw a coin here – in order, of course, to return to Varese again. You should definitely visit the Comune di Varese; the building impresses with its beautiful architecture. There is also the Torre di Velate, built in the 11th century. It likewise amazes with its rich history. The Cimitero di Velate is located nearby. Here you will find sculptures, tombstones, tombs, and crypts of different dynasties of the city, amongst which you can see the names of famous people.
