Arriving at the outskirts of the small town one should look up towards the left and, on having recognized the bell tower, should go in this direction in order to arrive at the religious complex of the Church of Santa Maria Assunta, the Church of Santo Stefano and the Baptistery of San Giovanni.
This complex has very old origins and the existence of a christening font confirms the importance of Domo in the government of the zone: given the considerable holy value attributed to baptism during the Middle Ages, the right to christen was a privilege conferred upon a limited number of parishes.
Whereas the first church is perfectly identifiable, next to the Romanesque bell tower, the other two buildings have undergone additions and a radical change with respect to their intended use.
The Church of Santa Maria Assunta was rebuilt at the end of the XVIII century on the site of a former building (a closed window belonging to the latter can be seen on the right side). In having the facade of the church before us, Santo Stefano - today transformed into a residential building - is to be found to our right. It still houses sixteenth-century frescoes.
The Baptistery, instead, is to be found behind us, incorporated within the building that closes the square. This is by far the most interesting monument. On the bases of archaeological excavations it is datable to the IX-X centuries and had an orthogonal plan. The two windows and the entrance (which faithfully follow the positions of the original openings) date to the nineteenth century. Another door has come to light on the southern side, in this sense respecting the needs of the medieval liturgy of the christening. Trace of an apse facing east has also been found, an architectural element common to other similar buildings to be found in the Varese region as, for example, the Baptistery of Arcisate.
From the square, and by way of the narrow streets of Domo, one goes in the direction of Nasca.
