The Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi or the Immaculate was built in the 14th century as part of a Franciscan convent. Erected in its present form in 1788, the church, made of sandstone tuff, has a baroque façade of three orders, with two imposing bell towers and a statue of the Saint in white marble; on the bell tower, on the other hand, there is a statue of the Virgin and Child.
St. Peter's Church was built in the second half of the 18th century, between 1773 and 1795, in place of another older church, still dedicated to St. Peter and most probably built in 1416.
The sanctuary of San Calogero dates back to the 13th and 14th centuries. In 1573, eighty-six citizens of the town organized themselves into a brotherhood to enlarge and rebuild the church so that it could become an oratory for the faithful. In 1598 Pope Clement VIII approved the celebration of the feast of St. Calogero throughout Sicily. This recognition gave a great impulse to the cult of the saint and to the sanctuary itself. In 1863 the church was separated from the convent and given to the Franciscan friars. In 1977 the church was raised to the rank of a sanctuary.
The Church of San Lorenzo or Church of Purgatory was built in the seventeenth century on a former place of worship. Around 1858, the old high altar, probably made entirely of wood, was replaced by a new one with baroque lines of coloured marble. In 1904, the beautiful church tower, which was in danger of falling down, was consolidated by shoring up the foundations.
