Chiesa di San Camillo de Lellis
The bell tower was paid for by holidaymakers, and a plaque commemorates it.

This church owes its origins to spa tourism. The earliest sources record a chapel built in 1771, following the growing use of the therapeutic waters of the locality; the present building dates from 1850, designed by the master builder Pietro Piazzani, with alterations in 1867. In 1938 ownership passed from the municipality to the parish of Peio.
The external portico was built in 1955 and the bell tower in 1966, to a design by the architect Luciano Fasolo. The cost of the latter was met entirely by donations from the holidaymakers of the locality, as a plaque fixed to the bell tower itself records: those who came to take the cure left the tower as a gift.
The church stands on the edge of the village, isolated on a gentle hill. The gabled façade is preceded by a portico set on three round arches; inside, the nave is divided into two bays and the presbytery, raised by two steps, ends in a polygonal apse with a single altar, that of the patron saint. The decoration of the presbytery dates from 1935, the work of the painter Teodoro Fengler.
