Casa Besta

Brusio's cultural centre is located just a few steps away from the famous Circular Viaduct, in the historic Casa Besta, a building that once housed influential Protestant families from Valtellina and the town hall. Today, Casa Besta is home to the ethnographic museum, the historical archives, the library and numerous cultural events. The museum tells the story of Brusio, with sections on smuggling, tobacco growing and wine production from the Valtellina. The center also houses antique musical instruments and nearby you can admire the traditional crot, historic buildings used for food preservation.
