The cultural monuments in the historic centre of town testify as to the achievements of a well-developed culture: the "loggia", the clock tower, and the city doors, are all certainly worth mentioning. Continuing through the city doors, you will discover a little piazza with a church tower and the Parochial Church of St. Mary of the Snow, built in the Gothic-Renaissance style, which holds the valuable wooden Pieta from the XVI. century, and the altar painting of St. Sebastian, by the noted Antonio Vivarini. Especially interesting is the simple funcionality of the residential quarter, where you will find the XII. century Church of St. Isidore, named after the bishop who was considered the town's protector, which has among its possessions the statue of a saint in Late-Gothic style, and many other wooden statues.
