Inside the village there is ‘Palazzo Barletta’, in which ancient tapestries and furniture are kept.

The parish Church of Ss. Pietro e Paolo was built up on the ruins of a previous church. Inside there are a Crucifix dating from 1300 and brought here from San Angelo’s Monastery, a polyptych dating from 1500 by Simone da Firenze, a silver cup in Baroque style and a baptismal font dating from 1500.

The Church of the ‘Madonna Addolorata o delle Lacrime’, XVI century, and Sant’Anna’s Church, XVIII century, are very interesting. In the suburbs there are the ruins of Sant’Angelo’s Abbey. Here it is still possible to see the cells the monks used to live in, burrowed in the rocks. In a cave nearby there are some stalagmites and a cave painting representing San Michele.
