The village is appreciated for its typical architecture made up of barrel vaults, underpasses, alleys and galleries. Along the road that leads from Canale to Calvola, in a panoramic widening you will find a group of statues representing the “Vicinia” in memory of the collective ownership administration typical of this community. What surprise visitors are the amazing view of the Lake Garda, the mountainous landscape glimpses caught in a Mediterranean atmosphere, because the olive trees and the cypresses give shape and color to landscapes which have the taste of the Tuscany and Umbria.
