The town is located near the confluence of the rivers  Adda  And  Poschiavino  and of the valleys in which these flow, respectively  Valtellina  and the  Val Poschiavo , the latter almost entirely located in Switzerland.

The importance of the geographic location of the center, which prompted  Ludovico il Moro  to fortify the inhabited area, it was able to guarantee a certain well-being, as evidenced by the beautiful noble palaces erected between  XVI  And  17th century .
