Cagnò

The village of Cagnò has preserved its late medieval architecture thanks to the harmonious integration of the subsequently built rustic noble residences. A closer look at the buildings along the main road reveals modifications and expansions dating back to the 19th century.

Seen from Cles, Cagnò extends at the foot of Monte Ozol above the artificial Santa Giustina lake. The settlement is composed of stone portals, wooden structures and houses made of cement or more recent materials. Cagnò includes different districts: the main square in the centre was built on a slight slope and is surrounded by ancient houses, portals and wooden structures.

In the lower part of the square between the houses there is the S. Valentino parish church (in the picture). It was built in the 17th century and expanded in 1885. Its precious altar piece is worth visiting. Other interesting attractions are the nearby noble residences "Case de Pretis". Due to its mild climate, Cagnò was inhabited already in prehistoric times and in the Middle Ages it gained popularity thanks to its strategic location.
