An historical building

In spite of its opening in 2002, the building holding the Bassella Motorcycle Museum in fact offers much more history on their walls. It is actually an emblematic building for it was built with recovered materials from the old houses of Bassella (small village which disappeared in the year 2000 under the Rialb reservoir waters).

The stones in the facade, the roof tiles, some internal paves, the iron banisters of the mythical Bassella hostelry, are some of the centennial items which were carefully kept, then moved from its former location to the km.134 of the current C-14 road in order to melt with the new construction materials.
