Lake Como (Lago di Como in Italian, also known as Lario) is a lake of glacial origin in Lombardy, Italy. It has an area of 146 km², making it the third largest lake in Italy, after Lake Garda and Lake Maggiore. At over 400 m (1320 ft) deep it is one of the deepest lakes in Europe and the bottom of the lake is more than 200 metres (656 ft) below sea-level. The southern end forks into two long 'legs', with the picturesque town of Bellagio situated on the promontory between them.
Lake Como has been a popular retreat for aristocrats and wealthy people since Roman times, and a very popular tourist attraction with many artistic and cultural gems. It has many villas and palaces (such as Villa Olmo, Villa Serbelloni and Villa Carlotta). Lake Como is widely regarded as being one of the most beautiful lakes in Italy.
The principal towns around the shores of the lake include: Bellagio, Como, Menaggio, Varenna, and Lecco.
