Costa Volpino

It is located in a position that could be defined as “strategic” between the beginning of Valcamonica and the confluence point of the river Oglio into lake Iseo. The local economy is typically industrial and, consequently, also its urban aspect; however, there are natural elements of outstanding beauty, which we recommend visiting.

SIGHTSEEING ATTRACTIONS
The municipality of Costa Volpino is divided into seven small towns. Among them worth mentioning is the medieval hamlet of Corti and Volpino, of Roman origin, with the parish church of Santo Stefano, which is home to a 16th century altarpiece. Above a large panoramic terrace, reachable by bus, stands Qualino, where the church of Sant’Ambrogio offers a full panoramic view of Lake Iseo and the lower Valcamonica. Also well worth a visit is the parish church of S. Bartolomeo in Branico, with its interesting 15th century frescoes, and the parish church of San Giorgio in Ceratello, with its splendid panoramic position.
