The Sokolski Monastery is an Orthodox monastery built in 1833. Its style corresponds to that of the Bulgarian National Revival that spread throughout the country after the fall of the Ottoman Empire.

The Sola church is a stone church dating from 1955. The architect behind the church was Gustav Helland.

The beit midrash on the plot belonging to Moshe Levin near Plungė (today Respublikos) Street, was designed in 1866. The design shows a Neo-Classicist building with a broad eastern prayer hall. The two-storey western façade had a central entrance doorway flanked by two narrow windows. However, the actual building differed from the design: the prayer hall became larger, its eastern wall was pierced by six (rather than four as originally planned) windows. It is hard to establish whether the gable pierced by a central oculus was ever built, or the "beit midrash" was covered with a hipped roof, like the one it has today.

Above the nave is a roofer with a new tower cladding dating from 1857.
