Its white houses are clustered around a hill that crowns the parish church, where stands a beautiful dome covered with blue glazed tiles, which stands out from the whites of the village. The austerity of the square tower of the church contributes further to give preeminence to the dome painting, which is repeatedly painted by artists new and experienced.

Among the steep, narrow streets of old town, stands the white color, which sometimes breaks with the green of a plant or a fuchsia bougainvillea. Photographers and painters often found on these sites, looking for places to taste next to the huge rush of tourists.
