Church of Santa Maria della Neve
The church was almost completely rebuilt around 1865. The birth of the first parish church dates from the late 13th century, and thereafter, during the rule of the feudal lord Pietro dell'Acaya in 1420, it was completed with external decorations on the back of the building and the bell tower. Other interventions were made in the 16th century by Gian Giacomo dell'Acaya and during the marquess of Vernazza in the 18th century.
Inside are various papier-mâché statues. Of the original building only the apse and the romanesque bell tower remain.
