Capolago is a village situated at the south-eastern extremity of Lake Lugano, in the Swiss canton of Ticino.

He is best remembered as one of the fathers of Baroque architecture, responsible for the façades of St. Peter's Basilica, Santa Susanna, and Sant'Andrea della Valle, all in Rome.

[5] The town was also home to the historically important Tipografia Elvetica press, which published propaganda during the Italian Risorgimento.

The station is served by route S10 of the Treni Regionali Ticino Lombardia (TILO), which operate every half-hour between Bellinzona, Lugano and Chiasso, with some trains extending northwards to Airolo and southwards to Milan.

[7][8] Buses of the Autolinea Mendrisiense and AutoPostale serve stops outside the station, providing links to Arogno, Brusino Arsizio, Melano, Mendrisio, Porto Ceresio, Riva San Vitale and Rovio.
