Leontica is a charming village immersed in Alpine nature. The town also has very ancient buildings such as the parish church of San Giovanni Battista, documented in 1204.

Hiking
A notice board about the book 'Days with Felice' by Fabio Andani. Felice lives in Leontica, on the board walks to places from the book are suggested, as well as a few lines from the book. By the way, a very nice book, a profound story. Particularly worth reading for Ticino lovers.

Hiking
The picturesque village of Leontica is a characteristic and secluded village, which, however, celebrates the traditional festival of its patron saint with great energy every year (June 24th or the next Sunday). If you get the chance, don't miss the traditional parade of the historic militia. It is said that this custom goes back to a vow made by a group of men from the Blenio Valley during their participation in Napoleon's Russian campaign: should they get away alive, they would set up a symbolic troop in honor of the patron saint.
