The historic Tabià
Despite being small, Canale d’Agordo is rich in attractions and characteristic for numerous reasons. Among these are its old barns, called Tabià. These are typical, wooden constructions used in the past for animals. In neighboring villages they can be found, even quite isolated, along the highways, while in Canale they are mixed with the houses, in the town center. The Tabià are very dated: the newest is 70 years old, the oldest 300.
