Clusane, whose toponym could derive from Clodius or Chiusa, is located on the southern bank of the Sebino. Autonomous municipality until 1927, today it is a fraction of Iseo. The town of Clusane was built around the castrum which contained, in addition to the chapel, the first nucleus of houses. Traces of the fortification are still visible in the historic centre, enclosed by some streets around the old church, mill and castle.
