THE TOWN OF RASSA <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The evocative environment provided by the narrow and elongated landscape endow the village of Rassa with typical traits and amazing views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rassa valleys have been recognised as a Biotype of Regional Interest, and in 2006 the municipality was included in the list of Special Protection Areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the small village, once rich in kilns and water-powered sawmills, you can visit the Brasei sawmill, a wonderful example of a still functioning water-powered sawmill, at the Rassa Wood Ecomuseum. <\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The parish church of the Holy Cross<\/mark><\/strong>, which was enlarged in the 17th century and finely frescoed by two local artists, Orgiazzi and Avondo, is also very interesting<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
