Address: The museum is in S. Cassiano, in the Ca di Malanca area.
Museum that collects articles and evidence of the Second World War.
Description: This zone in the high valley of Sintria where you find Ca Malanco evokes the tragic events of October 1944, when the partisan forces of he 36th Garibaldi Brigade were involved in heavy fighting with the Germans. There were heavy losses on both sides and some of the most prestigious commanders of the 36th Brigade were killed. Now only memorial stones and a small Museum of the Resistance are reminders of the terrible days of 1944.Inside the museum you can see a model of the reconstruction of the battle zone, in addition to photos and museum pieces of World War II.
Additional notes: Next to the Museum is another building that has been restored and set up to provide accommodation for groups and tourists.
