The Parish Church of Saints James and Christopher was built between 1731 and 1734. Its interiors are decorated with frescoes by Giuseppe Maria Borgnis, a local painter who also designed the church. The portico bears frescoes by Lorenzo Peretti senior. The Parish Church preserves a treasure of the King of France: sacred vestments in ancient silk, woven with gold and silver; ciboria; crosses; chalices studded with precious stones, engraved or made of filigree; and monstrances (the most famous is the "twin" of the one at Notre Dame in Paris), as well as the funeral mantle of Louis XIV.
