In the 4th century A.D., the hill on which the church stands was fortified with towers and a surrounding wall. Around the year 1000, a Romanesque building was erected in the form of a three-nave basilica. In the 15th century, the church was transformed and enlarged in the Gothic style. After the Second World War, archaeological excavations and restoration work gave the Sanctuary its present appearance.

The "Chiesa dei Santi Severino e Sossio" is a 16th-century Benedictine church. It belonged to the convent of the same name, which today houses the State Archives of Naples.

The church of Saints Simon and Helena, also known as the red church, was built between 1905 and 1910. In 1932 it was closed to worship by the Soviet authorities and donated to a Polish theatre company. Later it was converted into a film studio. The Germans returned the church to worship in 1941. After the Second World War, it was restored to become a film studio again, and in 1975 it became the House of Cinema. The church of Saint-Siméon-et-Sainte-Hélène was finally returned to Catholic worship in 1990.

Situated in the main street of the commune, the church’s exterior is unobtrusive and little noticed. The interior on the other hand holds a surprise. It is one of the most remarkable Neo-Gothic buildings in the country. The interior appointments are of a fine artistic richness. This is due to the initiative of Abbot Balau, vicar of Pepinster in 1891 who attracted the best artists and artisans of the period notably from Liege, Louvain and Gent. The result is impressive.

Since 1803, Clervaux has been the seat of both a deanery (Dekanat) and a parish. The current Neo-Romanesque Church of Saints-Côme-et-Damien was built between 1910-1912. The veneration of the martyrs Cosmas and Damian probably reflects the influence of the Diocese of Liège, to which Clervaux belonged before the French Revolution. The relics of saints are preserved in this church.

The church of San Benedetto is a sacred Romanesque building probably dating back to the 10th century. On the right stands the massive Romanesque bell tower from the 11th century. The interior, recently restored again, is presented in the 11th-12th century redefinition. The Romanesque cloister is also worth a visit.

The church of San Benedetto has its origins in the Benedictine Abbey of San Benedetto, the most important in Salerno. As the abbey was abolished by Napoleonic laws in 1807, the abbey church was transformed into a theatre. In 1845 the place was handed over to Archbishop Marino Paglia who entrusted the restoration work to the architect Giovanni Rosalba. The work was completed in 1857 and the church became the parish church of the Holy Crucifix. Ten years later, the anticlerical mayor of the time, Matteo Luciani, had the church transformed into a residence for military troops. It was only in 1963 that the church was returned to the clergy, while the monastery continues to be, even today, a military barracks.

The Church of San Biagio, also known as the Church of Sant'Agata alla Fornace, was built in the 18th century after the terrible earthquake of 1693. The church stands on the spot where, according to tradition, was the furnace in which Sant'Agata, the patron saint of the town, suffered martyrdom.

The Church of San Biagio, designed by Antonio da Sangallo the Elder, is an example of 16th century Tuscan Renaissance architecture. The church was built on the site of an ancient parish church of early Christian origin, whose fresco of the Madonna and Child with St. Francis attracted many pilgrims. The construction of the present church began in 1518 and lasted until 1545.

The Church of San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane is a baroque church built between 1634 and 1644 by Francesco Borromini. The facade of the church on the street was designed and built much later, from 1664; after the architect's death in 1667, the work was continued from 1670 to 1680 on the basis of Borromini's drawings.
