The Chiesa di San Michele Arcangelo retains little of its early Gothic origins. Inside, you’ll find an 18th-century pietà and a 17th-century portrait of San Cristoforo. Across the road from the church is a viewpoint from where you can see the fortress-like limestone peak Monte Texile, now a protected natural monument.
