Val Camonica is a valley that runs between Lake Iseo and Stelvio National Park along the Oglio River, cutting through the mountains for nearly 100 kilometers. The area is known for Neolithic carvings, more than 200,000 total, around Capo di Ponte, that were carved over a series of thousands of years. The area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is the most extensive and preserved body of petroglyphs in Europe. Visitors to Val Camonica can also spend time in Lovere or Bienno, two medieval villages that are part of the UNESCO protected zone and considered two of the most beautiful villages in the country. Other historic attractions include the Roman Amphitheatre, Sanctuary of Minerva, and the ruins of the temple and medieval castle at Breno.
