Meride was the birthplace of famous stucco artists and painters who had to immigrate to Germany, France and Russia, due to the region's poverty in the 16th and 17th centuries. Admire the remarkable works of art left by these artists in the alleys and curtain walls. Monte San Giorgio offers superb walks through woods and forests. A Unesco World Heritage Site, the area has yielded a wide variety of fossils, some in an exceptional state of preservation. Its resources have made it possible to create an important collection of specimens guaranteeing a rich geological literature.
