The Church of Santa Maria de Arce, one of the oldest in the village, dates back to around 1400: originally built with a single nave to serve the castle garrison, it is linked to the Theodoli family’s noble residence, which stands next to the church. It was transformed between 1861 and 1903, when the side aisles were added, and further renovated in the early 20th century by the architect Andrea Busiri-Vici; it houses a notable painting of the Assumption attributed to Carlo Maratta or his school.
The Church of San Biagio, whose original core dates back to a thirteenth-century oratory, was rebuilt and enlarged between 1607 and 1609. It is dedicated to the saint invoked as protector against ailments of the throat, and every year, on 3 February, the traditional blessing of the throat is renewed there.
On top of the hill stands instead the Church of San Vito, patron saint of the village, built between 1725 and 1735 on the site of an older chapel and celebrated on 15 June. Inside, the painting of the “Glory of the Saint”, set in the central part of the ceiling, stands out; the church has no bell tower, and its single bell is housed in a pyramid-shaped raised section of the roof.
The renewal programme promoted by Cardinal Mario Theodoli also included the construction of the Church of Santi Sebastiano e Rocco, octagonal in plan and rich in Baroque decoration, together with the adjoining Carmelite convent. In 1872 both became municipal property: the convent was then used as the town hall and today also houses the municipal historical archive.
Finally, on the Colle di Compigliano stands the Sanctuary of the Madonna di Compigliano, built at the end of the 16th century and later enlarged and finished over the following centuries. Tradition holds that the Virgin appeared among the branches of a cherry tree to a deaf-mute shepherd boy, giving him back his voice; the sacred image, made on a panel cut from the same cherry tree, was solemnly crowned on 22 August 1948 and is still a place of devotion for the villagers today.
