Side by side, the two churches of San Grato. The older one dates back to the 17th century, modified in the 19th century with the addition of two side naves—certainly useful, but they gave the whole structure a "squeezed" proportion. It was replaced in 1970 by the new church: today it is deconsecrated and somewhat neglected, but it remains interesting. The new church is next to the older one, separated by a secular building: it combines a Romanesque-style overall structure with modern forms in the pillars and architraves supporting the portico. In my opinion, it's more interesting than beautiful, but to each their own. That said, if you're passing through the town of Cafasse (even if only to avoid the traffic on the main road), it's worth stopping by.

Panoramic view of Lanzo station, which from here, with the mountain backdrop and the curve of the tracks, appears like a vintage postcard.

This 13th-century church of the Confraternity of the Disciplinati di Santa Croce has been remodeled over the centuries, but retains its general 13th-century layout: in particular, the portal with a round arch, the semicircular rose window, and several small terracotta arches on the side. The exposed stone bell tower has a beautiful modern sundial (1995). It is located just outside the historic center, on Via Roma, and is worth a visit.

A beautiful village with several points of interest: the chapel of San Rocco, the isolated bell tower completely detached from the church, and further away, near the cemetery, the parish church. The access roads offer beautiful views.
