Well worth a visit is ‘Il Castello’, once the seat of the Balbiani counts, former feudal lords of Chiavenna. The historic Palazzo Balbiani dates back pre–1477, but all that remains from the original architecture is façade and two towers after the rest was demolished during the occupation of the Grisons and reconstructed in 1930.

Located in the square in front of the train station, the monument consists of a large, square-based truncated pyramid base on which rests a stone supporting a statue of a naked man sitting on a rock. The man holds a flag in his left hand and points with his right. On the sides of the base are bronze plaques with the names of the fallen. The plaques of the fallen of the First World War are decorated with olive and oak wreaths. (c) https://catalogo.beniculturali.it/detail/HistoricOrArtisticProperty/0303254708

Collegiata San Lorenzo – Chiavenna The Collegiate Church of San Lorenzo It is believed that in the fifth century the first Christian church in Chiavenna was built in connection with the evangelization of the area, but it was not until the ninth century, with the organization of parish churches in Carolingian times, that a larger and more functional building was built. Already in 973 the church was dedicated to the protomartyr San Lorenzo. In 1042 it was mentioned in documents as a parish church and in 1098 it was called a basilica. The first priest appears in 992 and in 1016 he is called archpriest. Already in 1107 important extension works are documented on the church, which was restored in 1176 and 1179. At the turn of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries a pronaos appears in front of the main entrance. In 1172 the bell tower, which was located in front of the left aisle, is mentioned for the first time. It was rebuilt between 1597 and 1603 in front of the main gate. In 1537 the oak timber-framed roof burned down, so the following year the vaults were demolished and the building raised. In 1698-99 the portico was added to the façade, which until then had retained its original features, and was built to protect the cemetery, but also for processions and to house noble tombs. On the side facing the church, it is worth mentioning a high relief depicting the Pietà, made in soapstone in May 1433 by Guglielmo de Catello and coming from the church of San Bartolomeo. To allow passage through the portico, the octagonal Romanesque church that housed the baptismal font was destroyed and rebuilt in the same shape but higher and further back, thus reusing the old monolithic soapstone basin with sculptures dating back to 1156.
