Bormio Old Town
Centro storico di Bormio
A medieval town of stone porches and houses decorated with frescoes, centred on Via Roma, Piazza Cavour and the old clock tower.
In medieval times Bormio was a self-governing "County" that controlled trade routes between Italy and Switzerland. The old town is built around Via Roma, lined with noble residences with stone sculpted porches and frescoes, along with cafés and shops selling cured meats and cheese. In the centre, Piazza Cavour has the ancient council hall known as the Kuerc and the Bayonne clock tower, and beside it is the Collegiate Church of Saints Gervasius and Protasius. The town is small and can be explored on foot in one to two hours. Shop for local bresaola and ingredients for pizzoccheri, the buckwheat pasta from the region.
