The French built around 150 magnificent villas with sports services, discos, swimming pools, restaurants and churches along the windy roads.
There is also an old stone church which stands at the foot of the mountain. Built in 1906 as a stilt house, it was rebuilt in 1937 with brick and stone. It’s Gothic in décor and emerges imposingly amidst the endless green pine trees.
