- Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, built around 1000. It was enlarged in the early 18th century by Domenico Antonio Vaccaro. The tuff bell tower, standing at c. 40.3 m, is from 1494. The upper small cupola, covered by yellow maiolica, was destroyed in the 1980 Irpinia earthquake, but has been rebuilt in the same shape but with different materials.
- Ducal Castle, known from the 12th century. Of the medieval edifice, the square plan with the angular towers remain.
- Church of the Annunziata with a late-Gothic apse. It houses a polychrome wooden polyptych in the high altar, in turn including a late 15th-century triptych
