The Oratory of Saints Vito, Modesto, and Crescenzia, also known as the Madonna di San Vito, is a small sacred building located in the San Vito district. Although dating back to the 16th century, it was completely renovated in the late 1940s, losing its frescoed vault and original altar. Today, it features a single nave and houses valuable objects such as a 16th-century chalice. The small church is open to the public during Marian liturgical services organized by the Casaloldo parish.

The Parish Church of Casaloldo, dedicated to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Saint Emiliano, was built by Ticino architect Giovanni Maria Borsotto, who designed it between 1714 and 1720. The church's architecture is majestic and luminous, with sober lines softened by Baroque touches. The interior has a single nave, punctuated by Corinthian pilasters that delineate ten side chapels, culminating in the presbytery with the high altar and semicircular apse. Borsotto also designed the parish church's imposing bell tower, which was built about twenty years after the church itself and is a prominent feature of the city's skyline.

The Provost Church of Sant'Erasmo is an important Renaissance-style religious building. Construction began in the second half of the 15th century and was expanded in the 16th century under the Marquisate of Aloisio Gonzaga. The church features an elegant façade on two levels with pilasters and a tympanum. Its interior, topped by a hemispherical dome, houses valuable works of art from various periods, including Baroque paintings by Giuseppe Bazzani and Giuseppe Fali, an ancient 15th-century wooden crucifix believed to be miraculous, and a polychrome marble high altar. The church is also known for its "Treasure of Sant'Erasmo," housed in the Old Sacristy.
