Wakker Prize
In 1993 the Swiss Heritage Society chose Monte Carasso for the Wakker Prize. This prize was given in recognition of the municipality's efforts to separate themselves from the growing city of Bellinzona. The Society also noted that the former convent had been extensively renovated and that the village center had been preserved.

Famous quotes containing the word prize:
“In the corrupted currents of this world
Offence’s gilded hand may shove by justice,
And oft ‘tis seen the wicked prize itself
Buys out the law; but ‘tis not so above:
There is no shuffling.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
