Loreto, Switzerland
Quarter in Ticino, Switzerland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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[2]. Since the latter half of the nineteenth century the area developed steadily, driven by the construction of grand hotels, villas and transportation infastructure. In 2025, it had a population of 3,120.[1]
