What see
- 1 Civic Archaeological Museum "Iulium Carnicum". Inaugurated in 1995, it is located in the center of the capital, near the archaeological area of the Forum and collects the findings of the excavations of the Roman city, which began as early as the nineteenth century and previously preserved in a small Antiquarium, as well as objects from the entire Carnia. The exhibition area is spread over the 3 floors of Palazzo Tommasi Leschiutta with 7 exhibition rooms.
- 2 Saint Peter. The parish was built on the pre-existing and ancient cathedral of the diocese of Zuglio, suppressed during the eighth century.
- The church is the oldest of the 10 historic parish churches of Carnia and is considered the mother church. It is the main religious building of the Val Bût. It is mentioned for the first time in 808, when it replaced the previous basilica of Zuglio which was destroyed by the Avars.
- The current building dates back to 1312 built on pre-existing settlements and with various subsequent modifications; it was a bishopric in the Middle Ages as part of the then suppressed diocese of Zuglio.
- The church is preceded by an atrium in which you can see a Romanesque mullioned window. The sides are supported by buttresses, added at the beginning of the 16th century, when the original trussed roof was replaced by ribbed vaults.
