EN: Monte Caslano is a hill and a peninsula surrounded by Lake Lugano south of the village of Caslano. Near the peak of this hill, on 522 meters above sea level or 251 meter above the lake, stands a small chapel on top of a rock face with a great view about over the Agno bay of Lake Lugano.

From here, you look to the northeast. In the foreground, just behind the hill is the historic center of Caslano with its narrow streets and densly arrranged houses. Behind the church and to the north are the modern residential and industrial quarters. The largest building at the left side is the chocolate factory Alprose.

Behind the golf course is the village of Magliaso and half a dozen small villages on the surrounding hills. At the end of the lake you see Agno and the runway of the only commercial airport of the canotn of Ticino.

IT (tranlated with DeepL): Il Monte Caslano è una collina e una penisola circondata dal Lago di Lugano a sud del villaggio di Caslano. Vicino alla cima di questa collina, a 522 metri sul livello del mare o 251 metri sopra il lago, sorge una piccola cappella in cima a una parete rocciosa con una splendida vista sulla baia di Agno del Lago di Lugano.

Da qui si guarda a nord-est. In primo piano, appena dietro la collina, si trova il centro storico di Caslano con le sue viuzze strette e le case densamente disposte. Dietro la chiesa e a nord si trovano i moderni quartieri residenziali e industriali. L'edificio più grande sul lato sinistro è la fabbrica di cioccolato Alprose.

Dietro il campo da golf si trova il villaggio di Magliaso e una mezza dozzina di piccoli villaggi sulle colline circostanti. Alla fine del lago si vede Agno e la pista dell'unico aeroporto commerciale del cantone Ticino.
