The Geological Museum of the Dolomites in Predazzo, which specialises in the geology of the region, was founded in 1899 as a public museum by the towns of Fiemme and Fassa to highlight the geological-scientific heritage of the local area and to promote scientific understanding in this field. Today, the collection includes a rich selection of paleontological finds and numerous minerals. Since 2011, the museum is the regional centre for the Science Museum of Trento (MUSE).
The Chapel of St. Rocco in Tesero stands next to the Parish Church of St. Eliseo and dates back to 1528. It is in the late Gothic style and the facade shows an interesting fresco named “Cristo della Domenica”, Christ of Sunday. Inside, a decorated chancel and a carved, painted wooden altar can be seen.
Church and Bell Tower of Saints Sebastiano and Fabiano in Cavelese: Close to the Magnifica Comunità Palace stands the four-sided structure of the San Sebastiano bell tower that dominates the entire village. A clock face with large, golden, pointed hands can be seen on each side.
The Parish Church in Capriana was dedicated to the saints Bortolomeo and Lazzaro in 1216. After two fires, the tower was rebuilt in 1865 and considerably extended. Inside, there is a valuable altar piece of the Resurrection of St. Lazarus, unfortunately the name of the artist remains unknown to this day.
