The walled town sits at an elevation of 780 meters, featuring fortified ramparts, defensive towers, and a central castle that overlooks the surrounding region.
Peter II of Savoy established the settlement in 1240 by constructing a square castle, leading to the development of this strategic military position.
The Vitromusée, located in the castle, exhibits an extensive collection of stained glass art and presents the historical techniques of glass production.
