An imposing 12th-century castle (privately owned), with round towers and an inner courtyard, overlooks the houses and the Saint Sebastian church (also 12th century).
Lower down the hill and built on the site of the ancient Celto-Ligurian oppidum, is the Notre Dame des Neiges chapel. It was originally called Notre Dame de Blaise but was renamed after an unexpected snowfall in August. Each year a pilgrimage is held to celebrate the unusual event.
