The Basilica of Madonna delle Grazie, patron saint of the city and of the entire Samnium, built as a vow after the cholera of 1837 on a project of the architect Vincenzo Coppola, in Neo-Renaissance style.
In 1839 the first stone was laid by the future pope Leo XIII and it was consecrated in 1901, but the completion of the façade with the pronaos dates back to the 1920s. The polychrome wooden statue of the Madonna delle Grazie with Child is of the Neapolitan school of the 16th century.
