Chiesa Madre Santissima Annunziata. There are documents that attest to its presence as early as 1304. Don Saverio Ricciulli of Rogliano through a project of reconstruction and advancement of the church between 1748 and 1802 improved the structure. The church is made up of a Latin cross plan with three naves and a baroque facade. The interior is made up of a carved wooden choir and excellent works of the late 18th century. Noteworthy are a Frangipane crucifix of excellent workmanship and the works on four paintings of the Evangelists by Antonio Granata from San Fili. The bell tower on the side of the church, damaged over time by earthquakes, consists of a large clock built in the early 19th century by the Blasi brothers.

Church of the Retreat (ex Santa Maria degli angeli). 17th-century building. Used in the 19th century by the Retreating Fraticelli and used as a church with an adjacent cemetery towards the end of the 19th century. Inside the most important works are the statue of the Madonna degli Angeli made by a pupil of Gagini, and a wooden processional crucifix from the 1600s. The church reopened in 1996 after being restored due to damage due to the earthquake in the 1980s.
