"Great is the power of memory that dwells in places." (from Cicero)

Cësa Scurcià

Scurcià is considered one of the largest medieval farm sites in Ortisei, having been divided up and given rise to a number of different farmhouses. A workshop was set up in Cësa Scurcià which produced a lot of well-known 19th-century sculptors. The altar builder, Leopold Moroder, extended the house in 1900 into a café and funded the already-existing 'Kastanienallee'. The house today is a new construction from 1981 by Giorgio Moroder, the disco music pioneer and Oscar prizewinner.

Saint Mary's parish church, Selva

Records from 1517 mention a new construction that was extended in 1678. The church was newly built in 1872 after plans by Cyprian Pescosta, the priest in Bulla at the time. The features come from altar builders from Val Badia valley and sculptors from Ortisei. In 1988, the nave was replaced with a new, larger construction. The old tower was kept in place.
