piedmont

Biella offers a great and important heritage, in the architectural, artistic and archaeological field. From the findings of the Roman epoch preserved in the Museo del Territorio (Museum of the Biellese Territory), to the Romanesque architecture, testified by the splendid Baptistery and by the high St. Stephan bell tower. The medieval village of Piazzo, built on the top of a hill, is different from the rest of the town for its old mansions, its arcades and paved streets, along which there are the ancient doors once used to close the village.
