Travel Guide Oggebio

Oggebbio is home to around 15 small villages, some of them on the plateau on the mountainside. Novaglio is famous for its springs, but above all for its Romanesque church of Sant'Agata. Further afield is Piazza, where a number of 19th-century villas were built amid orchards and vineyards. Finally, Gonte stands out for its San Pietro church and its 42-metre-high bell tower. Other places of artistic interest include Cadessino, whose oratory of the Nativity of Mary dates back to the 15th century. Hiking enthusiasts can take advantage of the paths and mule tracks that once linked the villages.
