Villa d'Ogna is the first village on the road from Clusone to Valbondione.

The attention-getting features are the nice small cobbled-paved square with  fountain in the centre of Ogna and the ancient parish church (now Sanctuary).

There is also an old parish house, that was rebuilt in the seventeenth century and modified and embellished in the following centuries.

Beato Alberto's house along the street towards Upper Seriana Valley is also noteworthy.

The entrance of the farmhouse (dating back to 1214) can be still admired. The house became a monastery and a sanctuary was built and then destroyed by a landslide in 1813 (but the walls of the apse are still there). Nowadays in the monks' refectory there is the chapel, while the seven cells at the upper floor have been converted into private habitation.

With regard to the new parish church in Villa, it was built from 1937 on an open space not too far from the old church. It is a strong latin-cross building with a unique nave, and everything is built with local stone.

Ultimately, S. Lorenzo's little church along the road to Nasolino deserves a visit too.
