Chiesa Parrocchiale di Santa Maria Assunta, Santa Maria The church stands on a striking terrace to the east of the village, surrounded by the shade of a centuries-old linden tree, the high medieval tower, the Capuchin monastery and the ossuary. The monumental building complex has attracted attention since times gone by; the church and tower stand on a hill above the village center and are visible from afar to travelers on the San Bernardino route.

A small town with remains of ancient origins from the fourteenth century. It is located in the valley of the same name not far from the Cantons of Ticino and Bellinzona and from the entrance to the climb to the San Bernardino Pass.

Once you arrive in the town it is worth going a little longer to visit the Tower, formerly part of a residential building. One of the testimonies of the ancient life of the Valley.
