(563 m.) Barna is placed in the western part of the territory and dominates Val Menaggio and Val Sanagra. It shows its original perhaps Spanish structure with its winding streets and its buildings that prove, with their rich portals and pictorial decorations, the importance and social ranks of the owners. The scenographical square, the only one among all the hamlets, houses on its centre the wonderful fountain given by the noble Manzi family. The church, become parish church in 1635, dedicated to S.Maria Maddalena, shows its inside with one nave and three side chapels. There, you can find, together with various paintings from the Lombard School, one precious wooden crucifix (XVIIth c.), one organ (Carcano - 1851) and a wooden gilded altar (1886)
