Pinte:
Pinte is generally known for its beautiful Jurassic fossils. Ammonites,
brachiopods and many other species outcrop in an extraordinary form.
Pinte is a sanctuary of nature; therefore, no fossil extraction is
allowed. An interesting paleontological museum allows us to recognize
the rich Jurassic fauna of the sector.
In addition, Pinte was a town of considerable size. The square, the
chapel and many old houses still show the rich history of the site.
