The church of Saint-Eustache dates from 1773 but has a 19th-century bell tower and a small walled cemetery. The church houses a collection of paintings, especially by the Baroque master Carlo Dolci (1616-1686).
The Church of St. Nicholas is an Orthodox church built between 1902 and 1909 on the site of a Dominican monastery abandoned at the end of the 18th century. When Napoleon conquered Boka in 1808, the land was given to the Orthodox to build a church, and the monastery was converted into barracks. The Orthodox church existed here from 1810 to 1896, when it burned down in a fire together with the French barracks.
St Luke's Church, founded in the 12th century, is an old Catholic church, shared with the Orthodox since the 17th century. Offered to the town's Orthodox in the 19th century, the church still has a Catholic and an Orthodox altar. The church is exceptionally well preserved as it did not suffer major damage in the 1979 earthquake.
