The local church, built north of the settlement, is dedicated to Saints Primus and Felician and belongs to the Parish of Rob. It is a 14th-century building that was remodeled during the Baroque, but the whole interior of the sanctuary is covered in frescos dating to the second half of the 15th century.[3]
