One attraction is the sundial on Monte Pana: This spherical equatorial sundial, with a two-metre diameter, not only shows the local time in Santa Cristina, but also that of 60 other cities worldwide. Also worth seeing are the large crucifix on the Rasciesa High Alp (pictured) and the grain mills in Bulla, which date back to the 18th and 19th centuries.
In addition, there are the valley's museums and galleries, castles, and sacred buildings, including the Dlieja da Sacun in its panoramic location, which is the oldest church in the valley.
