On the homepage of the tourist office Mendrisiotto and Basso Ceresio, the quarries of Arzo, which have been closed down since 2009, are mentioned as "monumento del lavoro" - as a memento of the hard work of stonemasons.

Ancient quarries of Arzo, where the famous Arzo marble was extracted and exported all over the world. Today these spaces have been "redeveloped" and open to the public.
