Discover the site
Bioggio is home to a complex of Roman buildings which includes workshops, baths, and a sacred space whose small Roman temple was later followed by a church which was rebuilt several times between the 5th and 6th centuries and 1773. The whole site was investigated in the 1990s by Ticino's archaeological service. Its privileged location on the route across the Alps means that Bioggio has always been an important point of transit. A new circular walk allows you to discover its archaeological landmarks on foot.
