About Loreto
Loreto is a neighbourhood. Location: Lugano, Lugano District.
Loreto is a quarter of the city of Lugano, in the Swiss canton of Ticino. Loreto includes the waterfront of Lake Lugano from Lugano Arte e Cultura to the border of the municipality Paradiso to the south. The quarter takes its name from the Chiesa di Santa Maria di Loreto (Lugano), a baroque-style church constructed in the 1520s. Since the latter half of the nineteenth century the area developed steadily, driven by the construction of grand hotels, villas and transportation infastructure.
