Medieval Passage of Lierna

The Middle Ages Return to Castello

The Medieval Passage of Lierna is the historical re-enactment of the Municipality of Lierna (Province of Lecco), set in the village of Castello, the ancient fortified nucleus that juts out over the Lecco branch of Lake Como. The stone alleys and medieval houses of the village offer a natural and authentic setting to bring the atmospheres of the past back to life.

Costumed Participants, Crafts, and Atmospheres

For one evening, the village comes alive with costumed participants, encampments, scenes of medieval life, and ancient crafts, in a journey that engages visitors through sounds, lights, and period settings. The event enhances Lierna's historical heritage and the unique charm of the fortified village on the lake, in one of the most fascinating locations on Lake Como.

The Twentieth Anniversary

Organized by the Pro Loco of Lierna, the re-enactment has become an eagerly awaited summer event over the years, capable of uniting culture, entertainment, and local heritage promotion in a single lakeside medieval evening.
