Isera is a little village of Vallagarina,
but is composed by eight hamlets, some of these are Bordala, Marano, Patone and one of the most characteristic is certainly Lenzima, which rises on terracing of Mount Biaena. Already inhabited at the time of the Romans, it later became property of the Lords of Castelcorno, of the Castelbarco family and of the Lichtenstein family, who possessed it until 1759, when it passed to the prince bishop of Trent and later to Austria. It was an autonomous municipality until 1928 when it was annexed to the municipality of Isera. Despite the war, Lenzima managed to preserve the characteristic houses made of stone with the wooden balconies and, in some cases, stony elements in the window architraves and in the beautiful portals. Among the works preserved, the embossed processional cross of Saint Martin is very valuable; in the middle, it depicts the image of the saint as he cuts a piece of his cloak to give it to the beggar.
