Capolago
Capolago lies at the foot of Monte Generoso and is the starting point of the Ferrovia Monte-Generoso rack railroad. The parish church of Santa Maria Maddalena, the rectory with a beautiful fresco and the former Tipografia Elvetica are considered cultural assets. Capolago is a small village with less than 1000 inhabitants and is situated at 273 meters above sea level. The village is located at the southern end of an arm of Lake Lugano and is not far from Mendrisio. Literally translated, the place name Capolago means "at the head of the lake".
