Things to Do

Cosanti, Paolo Soleri’s bells in Paradise Valley.

Cosanti was the home and studio of the architect Paolo Soleri, and it is still where his well-known wind bells are made. The site is a small, shaded set of earth-cast buildings, and on weekday mornings you can watch bronze being poured. It makes a calm, unusual stop.
