Church of Saint Pierre
This church, restored in the mid-19th century, is the collective work of the inhabitants of the village of Sari. It was built from the stones of the old chapel. The bell tower, as is often the case when churches are built on popular initiative, is a later addition. The patronal feast of Saint Peter takes place on 29 June, the day before that of Saint Paul, celebrated in Solenzara, allowing the inhabitants of the two villages to meet and show their solidarity during these days of celebration.
