The territory of Ispra is modulated by the presence of hills, going down to the lake. Their steep and rocky peaks are marked by the traces of antique lime kilns: characteristic buildings made up of stone, which are worth visiting. This village also, of antique origins, had a lifestyle in common with the feudo of Angera , for example: the fenced castle of San Cristoforo . Today Ispra is known to be the seat of the Joint Research Centre (Euratom). You don't have to forget that the tourist activity is active; the proof is the presence of villas and residences surrounded by parks.
