The historical center preserves the structure of the ancient, delimited by two doors and focused on three squares located at different levels, and offers a series of architectural gems: the Church of Our Lady of the Bar (built in 1625 and which owes its name to the customs house at which the toll rose), the Church of Sant `Agostino, containing frescoes of the sixteenth and seventeenth century and a beautiful stone altar Giovanbattista of Christopher da Cortona, the tiny Theatre “Cesare Caporali”, The Baroque Collegiate Church of St. Michael Arcangelthe, which houses a fresco attributed to Masolino, and Palazzo del Podesta, fourteenth-century building with a single and mullioned windows and a tall bell tower.
