history

The name of the community or locality is said to come from the Celtic tribe of the Cauri , although a trade center may have been here. From the beginning of the 15th century to the end of the 18th century, the area and the locality were part of the Republic of Venice .

Santuario Madonna della Corona

The church and pilgrimage site of Madonna della Corona is located in the Spiazzi district at 773  m slm in a rock face high above the Adige Valley . The church was partly built into the rock , so that the west side and parts of the north side are directly adjacent to the rocks and do not have their own outer walls. The building was built between 1974 - 1978 renovated.
