The [[Brè|village of Brè]] (800 m; population 300) lies on the eastern slope of Monte Brè and is connected to Lugano by bus service.
 
The village shows the typical [[Ticino|Ticinese]] architectural style. The traditional communal washing fountain or "Lavatoio" is still preserved. In the center of the old village is the "Path of Art" with notable artists.
 
The [[Wilhelm Schmid (painter)|Wilhelm Schmid]] Museum was the residence of the artist (1892–1971) and today contains a collection of his works. Schmid was the only Swiss painter of the northern [[Magical Realism]] style.
