Sfruz is a typical alpine village, one of the highest and oldest of the valley, dominated by the Corno di Tres. It keeps its original structure with rustic and noble buildings as the ones on the square Degasperi with portals in stone, hallways, particular wooden superstructures, some frescos and writings (a house shows the date 1579).

Behind the church the via Predaia goes up presenting some interesting traditional architectural elements: a portal dating back to 1704 with coat of arms and a Gothic arch. At the end of the road a high relief of S. Barbara, the miners’ patron Saint is to be found. The parish church S. Agata by Pietro Bianchi, was decorated by Metodio Ottolini (1933).
