(581 m). It's the hamlet with the greatest number of inhabitants. It's placed on the west side of a large dell of dolomitic rock, surrounded by birches and old chest-nut woods. The village, in spite of the re-or-ganizations made to satisfy modern exigences, shows all the characteristics of the ancient agricultural village of the beginning of the century. Near the village you can see what remains of the marble-quarry still in use at the end of the Sixties, from where they quarried a valuable marble with red venations. There are two churches important from the historical point of view: S. Bernardo, erected in the XVIIth c. thanks to the local inhabitants, and S. Rocco erected, during the pestilence which afflicted the whole valley in 1648/49, where the area of the parish church of Plesio meets that of Barna.
