Built on a hump above the town, this is a very ancient Church that reminds of the rural houses of the past.

Being located at the center of the town, at an elevation of 664 m a.s.l., the massive Parish Church of Saint Michael Archangel, can easily be seen from the SS38 road. The origins of this church date back to 1427, as written on the atrium of the parish home. In 1688 the population was severy tested by a long period of famine . Nevertheless, citizens did not give up and rebuilt the Parish church, consecrated in ca 1780. Significant renovation works were carried out in 1888 and 1992, without changing the original appearance of the building.  Nowadays, it's still possible to see the ancient ossuary on the left side of the church, which still hosts the old balustrades and kneelers, writings dating back to the 17th - 18th century and a remarkable ancient organ. The frescoed vault of the sacristy is also worth a visit.

The seat of the Valtellinese History and Art Museum is Palazzo Sassi de' Lavizzari, a severe building built in the 16th century in the old town center of Sondrio. Besides an archaelogical section, that includes local discoveries and antiquities, such as the Sertoli coin collection, there is an area dedicated to Eighteenth century clothing, several paintings by Pietro Ligari - the most remarkable Valtellinese painter - and by his kids Cesare and Vittoria. The museum also hosts a worthy carved Stua. Its ceiling is decorated with the coat of arms of the Grison families that ruled the valley from 1512 to 1797, but the room also houses sacred wooden sculptures made during the Counter-Reformation.

A watch-tower that was turned into an austere noble palace, which now hosts one of the most beautiful stüe in Valtellina.
