Inside the monastery is the Polironian Civic Museum, where you can find out how cheese was made in the early 1900s, what tools were used to work the fields, what children’s games were…

For those who are enchanted by a starry sky, there is the Astronomical Observatory (tel: +39 0376 615409) in the hamlet of Gorgo, with a terrace for observations and a computerized telescope for automatic pointing of celestial objects.

The environment around the hamlet lends itself to bicycle touring and torpedo fishing, the least favorite omnivorous fish in these parts.
