What see
- Riporse Castle (to Pettoranello del Molise). It can be reached via a dirt road in a wood, in the municipality of Pettoranello but not far from Longano. The enclosure, invaded by dense vegetation, rests on a small embankment of earth that forms a platform. It has an approximately quadrangular plan with two semicircular scarp towers on the southern side, the only survivors of the four that exist. Inside the enclosure, the remains of a square tower and a large cistern survive. The walls are laid with stone elements of small size on rows only in regularized sections and bound with abundant mortar.
- Church of Santa Maria Assunta. The church today is shown in the neoclassical reconstruction after the earthquake of 1805. The facade is of a sober Baroque, different from the internal construction with a single nave. The frames and lintels are painted in gray.
- The bell tower has a domed top.
