![Mergozzo (VB) - Porticato delle Cappelle](../../../var/ectorino2012/storage/images/luoghi/cantare/mergozzo-vb-porticato-delle-cappelle/17751-4-ita-IT/Mergozzo-VB-Porticato-delle-Cappelle_news_prev.jpg)
Mergozzo stands over the Toce valley and is named after the lake. The old town offers interesting cultural attractions, like the archaeological museum on the ancient peoples, and the symbol of the city, a century-old hollow elm tree in the centre of the square, that was there from 1600. Another must-see place in the city is the porch of the chapels, adjoining the parish church, and decorated by thirteen chapels, each with frescoes depicting the stages of the Via Crucis. A walk under the arcade is perfect, even more if accompanied by the fugascia, the typical sweet of Mergozzo.
