Across the causeway from Melide, and south along the far side of the lake, is Bissone (274 m/899ft; pop. 720), which dates back to Roman times. It has well-kept patricians' houses with impressive arcades and facades. The Tencalla museum contains ancient exhibits with an exhibition of painting and sculpture by local artists.
