An important monument in town is the Collegiata of S. Fiorenzo, built in 1300 and remade by the end of 1400. It was built of a preexisting church of Saint Bonifacio.
Other historic landmarks are the church if Beata Vergine di Caravaggio, the Oratorio della Beata Vergine, the Verdi Theater and the church of St Francis.
