The Abbazia di Piona is a Cistercian monastery dating back to the 12th century. Church, cloister and Lourdesgrotte are free to visit. A sale of Klosterspirituosen produced here as well as honey, jam and some other is at the entrance.

Nice hiking destination on the peninsula. Away from the top of the ridge and back across the street are a good route.
