The history of the municipality is characterised by the presence of the Waldensians who, as in the rest of the Valley, began to settle there starting from the 13th century.

The name "Waldensians" comes from the Middle Ages. The Catholic Church used this term to describe the followers of Valdes from Lyon, who founded a movement of itinerant preachers around 1173. Valdes, known as "Petrus Waldus" since 1350, was a wealthy citizen of Lyon. Since he could not read the Latin Bible himself, he had it translated into the vernacular in 1173. He then gave his property to the poor and began to preach publicly. He soon gathered a circle of men and women around him. In 1532, the last itinerant preachers and their followers joined the Reformation and founded a Reformed Church in the Cottian Alps. Its members now called themselves "Waldensians". They were convinced that their ancestors had been Protestant Christians long before the Reformation. Today the Reformed Waldensian Church exists in Italy and South America.

This uniquely shaped Waldensian Temple is a building from 1806, with an interesting history of earthquakes and persecutions. From the square you can enjoy a beautiful view of the valley.

Rocks with petroglyphs and cup marks along the path, with descriptive and well-signposted sign. Nice viewpoint.

Neoclassical building built in 1806, with an interesting history of earthquakes and persecutions. From the square you can enjoy a beautiful view over the valley. It is located on the old road of San Giovanni, which is an excellent alternative to the provincial road at the bottom of the valley to go up from Bricherasio to Torre Pellice.
