The town's main sight is the Castello Boncompagni-Viscogliosi, a fortified palace near two c- 30 m-high waterfalls (Cascata Grande and Cascata del Valcatoio) and a bridge on river. It is mentioned for the first time in 1100. After the acquisition of the Duchy of Sora by the della Rovere family, it became one of their main residences. It was also housed by their successors as dukes, the Boncompagni; in the 17th century Costanza Sforza turned into a luxurious palace, with biblica frescoes and basreliefs of the duchy's lands, as well as a garden.
About 2 km to the north of the town is the church of San Domenico, erected in the 12th century, which is said to mark the site of the villa of Cicero.
