The chapel is built of small stone blocks with larger stones at the corners. Inside rest the remains of Sainte Lucie and Sainte Apolline, as well as some souvenirs of the hamlet's inhabitants, which only add to the charm of this site. It was restored in the early 1970s. The little chapel, all plastered, stands on a small plateau overlooking the valley of the Ostriconi. Its dimensions, 7.98 m by 4.14 m, make it look more like an oratory than a chapel. In 1646, Monsignor Marliani referred to it as the "oratoria della Annunziata". It has been recently modified: tiled roof (including the apse) and plaster on all the walls, which makes dating difficult. However, some elements give it a Romanesque character: the semicircular apse facing east, a loophole in the centre of the apse. The roof of the apse was slightly raised during the remodelling, as the original layout with a teghie border can still be seen. The apse is built on a base that bridges the slope of the ground. Inside, the line of the triumphal arch can be seen under the blue paintwork, which opens onto a vaulted ceiling. A small side chapel was built on the north side. You can see the recess in the outer wall, which still has a teghie covering. A pretty font is decorated with an angel's head (outside) and a fleur-de-lis (inside). This building is touching because of the freshness of the colours of the interior (white and blue) and the care that the hamlet has taken with it. A commemorative plaque tells us that a new bell was donated in August 1953 by Mr Filippi. Mrs Moracchini-Mazel mentions that, according to oral tradition, this chapel is of Romanesque origin, even if today there is no evidence to confirm this hypothesis. However, it should be noted that the chapel of Saint Lucy is in the visual axis of the small chapel of Saint Michael of Pedano. Several dates appear: 1606 on a building in front of the chapel, 1614 on the font. We can deduce that the chapel existed at that time. The beauty of the landscape and the nostalgia emanating from the ruins of the few houses that make up the hamlet are worth a visit. A small bell tower topped by a cross houses a bell. The present dimensions (6m x 3.65m) are probably the same as those of the previous chapel, as they correspond to the surface area that can be built on a very uneven terrain. In front of the door are various cut stones used in the life of the hamlet: millstone, cut stones to collect the juice from the press. The chapel is the only building to have been rebuilt, the houses of the hamlet being all in ruins.

Restored in 1997, the chapel houses some paintings by Chisa: on the walls are six paintings of the life of San Roccu and, suspended from the ceiling, twelve paintings depicting the life of Jesus and arranged in the shape of a cross. Saint Roch was very popular in Corsica from the 14th to the 19th century. In Filicetu, the chapel dedicated to him was entrusted to the care of a hermit by the episcopal vicar of Ajaccio in 1865. In the chapel, one can see an 18th century statue of the saint made of cherry wood. In July, this statue is carried in procession to the church of St Nicolas and then brought back down at the end of August. On 16 August, the day of his feast, a procession goes around the village imploring his protection. As a sign of sharing, evoking the personality of the saint, blessed bread rolls are distributed at the end of the mass.

Built in 1651, according to the inscription on the lintel above the entrance, the church of Saint Alban de Cassano is a modest structure with a single nave. You can admire a cornice decorated with ovals and supported by pilasters. These delimit chapels decorated with altarpieces. However, what catches our attention the most is the triptych on a gold background representing the Virgin and Child which bears the signature of Simone de Calvi in ​​1505, thus attesting the existence of a Corsican regional painting workshop in the 15th and 16th centuries.

Adjoining the church, which was decorated by Italian artists, it is now a venue for contemporary art exhibitions. Near the church you'll find some monumental tombstones, including those of the Filippi, Taddei and Malaspina families. There are also some private chapels.

You'll find the chapel of San Ghjuvanni on the edge of the village of Belgodère, on the road to Occhiatana. Built in 1711 on the site of an old oratory, using stones from the destroyed church of San Marcello, this chapel is dedicated to St John the Apostle. It contains a baroque altarpiece in carved wood dating from 1604 and a polychrome statue of Our Lady of Seven Sorrows carved from an olive tree trunk dating from 1545, both of which are listed. On the third Sunday of September, the patronal feast day, a mass is celebrated here followed by a procession.

This chapel was built in March 1713 next to the site of the old, smaller chapel. Above the entrance is a statue of the Virgin Mary. In 1792, the statue of the Virgin Mary, which arrived from Genoa on the boat of a certain Paoli from Canari, was blessed by the village priest after being transported from Losari to the chapel before being placed in the parish church. A painting from the first quarter of the 18th century, attributed to the painter Pietro Antonio Rossi, depicting the Annunciation, St. Joseph and St. Francis Xavier, could be seen before it was placed in the village church.

The parish church, A Nunziata, was built in the early 17th century. It features an elegant multi-level bell tower. The parish church A Nunziata contains old paintings and an organ dating from 1744 signed "Battista Pompost di Pistoia". Its bell tower is made up of two floors. The bell was recast and baptized on April 4, 1982 Madre Di Le Gratiae "mother of all graces" by Father Pol de Léon of the convent of Marcasso. The parish church adjoins the Chapel of the Confrérie Saint Antoine, a building built between 1760 and 1770. It is decorated with a niche in which is a statue of the Immaculate Conception Virgin. It has a high altar from 1776 with plasterwork and visibly Baroque decor.

The ancient foundry's bellows support is still visible in this simple single-vault construction. It was in ruins before being converted into a fountain and decorated with a marble bas-relief feature by Toni Casalonga which represents the four seasons.

The former Presbytery in the village centre is one of the oldest buildings in Pigna. Fully renovated, it is now an art and craft shop run by the Casa di l'Artigiani association.

The chapel belongs to the municipality and stands on the edge of Santa Reparata on the road to Monticello. Dating from the 17th century, it is dedicated to the illustrious Franciscan preacher from Tuscany. San Bernardinu is celebrated on 20 May.
