Chiesa San Pietro e Paolo

The church features three naves supported by five pairs of square pillars, with a sloping granite floor ascending toward the altar on multiple levels.

Documentation from 830 mentions priests in Biasca, while the current structure was established in 1171 as a baptismal church for surrounding valleys.

The interior walls display frescoes from the 13th to 17th centuries, including scenes from the life of Saint Charles Borromeo and Doctors of the Church.

Access to the church requires climbing a long staircase from the village center to reach the entrance portal, constructed in 1732 with Tuscan columns.

The choir section integrates directly into the natural rock formation, demonstrating exceptional architectural adaptation to the landscape.
