The village has had its Church of Saint Thomas since 1269, built by Andrea Malaspina. Amidst its arcades and numerous so-called "venelles," it houses a 16th-century image of the Virgin and Child, a 17th-century holy water font, and a marble statue of Saint Anthony the Baptist, discovered near Lozari. The latter, coveted by several communities, was therefore transported by oxen on a cart across the region and given to the village where the animals first stopped.
