The park around the Villa dei Cedri, which today houses the municipal museum for modern and contemporary art, is a living example of an English landscape park from the 19th century. Another attraction is the vineyard behind the villa, whose grapes are used to produce the popular Merlot.

The Museo Villa dei Cedri is housed in a suburban villa-type building that was rebuilt in the Palladian style around 1920. The original neoclassical building dates back to 1860. The permanent collection of the museum, which opened in 1985, focuses on the art of Ticino, Lombardy and Switzerland from the second half of the 19th century to the present day. The museum is also valued by visitors for its park, which is unique in the Bellinzona region. Another attraction is the vineyard behind the villa, where the popular Merlot is produced.
