Cudan twin farmhouse with immaculately renovated living quarters

Cudan

Birthplace of the artist Luis Piazza (1908-1977)

A twin farmhouse, first mentioned in records in 1406, with fully stonewalled, immaculately renovated living quarters divided along the roof ridge line corresponding with ownership. There are two original barns for each part of the farmhouse built as log structures over a walled base and preserved with the characteristic 'palancin' balcony used for maturing grain running around the building. The western barn is older and its core originates from 1428/30.
