Tourists staying at vacation rentals in the area will want to visit the Church of Saint Stefano. The church features sacred artwork from several periods, and was fully rebuilt during the 17th and 18th centuries. A picture of the baby Jesus and Virgin Mary may be found in the church, thought to have been painted by either the Maestro of Greve or Master of Bagnano.
You can also find artwork in the presbytery, featuring a painting of John the Baptist, Saint Stephen and the Virgin Mary, attributed to Lorenzo Monaco. There is also an anonymous painting depicting the Trinity and four saints that attracts plenty of tourist attention.
