Parish Church of the Transfiguration: it was built in the 18th century on the site of an old keep. It includes an old Romanesque chapel from the 12th century built to the north of the castle keep. This chapel was normally oriented east-west. The current choir of the church is located in this old chapel whose cul-de-four apse can be seen to the right of the main altar.

At the beginning of the 16th century the church was enlarged by integrating the former location of the castle keep. This church includes two chapels where you can see a painting of the Madonna of the Rosary painted by Dragus in 1639, on the left, and the Death of Saint Joseph painted in 1722, on the right.

The church was enlarged again in the mid-16th century after the demolition of the south wall. After this addition of a new bay towards the church square with a bell tower with a high octagonal lantern and a triangular pediment.

The main altar is moved, which changes the orientation of the nave which becomes noticeably north-south. It is topped by an altarpiece decorated with a 17th century painting representing the Transfiguration.
