Gavirate

Placed where the slopes of the Campo dei Fiori meet the Lake Varese, Gavirate is still today the more important tourist center of the area. Just for this, in the past, the Lake Varese has been called Lake of Gavirate.

On the left of the provincial road, there is the historical center with many seventeenth.eighteenth buildings.

Ancient public wash-houses, made by separate laundry tubs joined only by the crossing of the water, are scattered for all the municipality.
