Wikipedia: "Guarda ist als eines der am besten erhaltenen Engadiner Dörfer und dadurch sowohl architektonisch als auch geschichtlich interessant. Das Dorf besteht fast ausschliesslich aus den typischen Engadinerhäusern mit zahlreichen Sgraffiti."

 

Wikipedia: "In 1975 the Swiss Heritage Society awarded Guarda the Wakker Prize for the preservation of its architectural heritage. The award notes that it is one of the best preserved and characteristic villages of the Unterengadin. . . . Most of the population (as of 2000) speaks Rhaeto-Romance (62.5%), with German being second most common (30.6%) and French being third (2.8%). The majority of the population speaks the Vallader dialect of Romansh."
