The sail bell tower of the church
of S.Giacomo (11th century).

The church of S.Maria Maddalena,
coeval with S.Giacomo.

The bell tower of S. Maria Maddalena - truly a crown jewel of the Lario district - features a bell cell in late Gothic style. The cell was added in 1400 and is well harmonized with the underlying Romanesque tower.
