The village of Santa Maria, with its parish church mentioned as early as 1219, was the religious and political capital of the Calanca Valley. The church's current appearance dates back to the early seventeenth century, a time when Capuchin monks settled in the adjacent hospice. The church of Santa Maria Assunta is a Romanesque religious building.

Torre di Santa Maria
The medieval residential tower was built in the 13th/14th century by the Counts of Sax. Overlooking the valley floor of the Misox, it was part of a territorial control system. The pentagonal tower is inspired by architectural models from central France.
