The buildings, rectangular in shape, have a massive masonry base which includes the hearth and the stable. The upper floors are made up of wooden structures, a fact that in the past has caused repeated destruction in almost all the villages in the area following raging fires. The houses have granite portals, and feature original balconies. They often present, as is the custom in the Valley, frescoes of a religious nature. In the center of the village a fountain with a large granite boulder symbolizes the Adamello, another in dolomite represents the Brenta Dolomites, the two vast mountain ranges that surround the valley.
