In 2011, UNESCO recognized Cerea’s deep historical roots by adding the Tombola stilt-house site to its World Heritage list. Located within the Valle Brusà Oasis, this prehistoric settlement forms part of a wider network of ancient pile dwellings scattered across the Alpine region.
Currently home to around 16,200 residents, this municipality in the province of Verona remains closely tied to its wetland environment. Walking the trails of the protected oasis provides a tangible sense of the marshy terrain that supported these early human communities.
