Church of San Lorenzon in Claro. Switzerland

In the hamlet of Cassero there is the church of San Lorenzo with an adjoining cemetery. The imposing Romanesque bell tower of considerable interest, whose origin can be traced back to the 11th century, leans against the modest Baroque church. It has six orders marked by blind arches and friezes with a mullioned window open on the top floor; the roof is cusp. It was restored in 1973.
