Through its corner leads the 15th meridian. In the building of the former Jesuit seminary (today a museum) there is the so-called Kýza´s crèche, the biggest moving folklore crèche in the world. To the most important sights belong: the Church of St. John the Baptist with valuable frescoes and a former monitory monastery.
