    In the Schirela area, along the mule track that from Carate reaches the top of the Murelli refuge, you can observe the remains of buildings and equipment from the stone quarries.
    The view of the Lario is also excellent.

      From the quarries, the large boulders of stone were dragged to the lake with caròi (sleds) and then loaded onto cimballs (large boats) to be transported to the city, where they were used for the construction of palaces, churches and walls.
