- The fountain of Petra Muneta :
in the lower valley of Ostriconi, towards the delta.
- The Church of Saint Laurent of Lama :
previously Notre Dame de la Visitation -18th and 19th centuries. There is a little 17th-century reliquary bust of Saint Philippe of Neri and a chalice donated by Napoleon III.
- The chapel of Saint Laurent of Lama :
in the valley, the ruins of the chapel, built at the end of the 13th century, are now a classified historic monument. From the end of the 15th century, it only served for funerals and for the mass celebrating the patron saint. In the 18th century, it fell into ruin and was successively used as an oil-press and as a habitation. On the triumphal arch one can still see traces of the frescoes from the end of the 15th and beginning of the 16th century.
- The megalithic period in the valley :
there are still many remains in the Ostriconi Valley: menhirs between Lama and Urtaca and another standing stone reported on the mountain of Urtaca. There is a prehistoric site in the commune of Pietralba - A Grotta di U Luru.
- The Roman Empire in Ostriconi :
there are castles (castelli) such as "Monte A Porretta" at Lama, the Fort of Lumigiana at Pietralba, little chapels - San Michele and Santa Maria at Pietralba, San Nicolao at Urtaca and, near the beach of Ostriconi, Santa Maria Assunta, the parish chapel of the Pieve.
These are the witnesses of a period when religious and military organisation began to develop. The Barbary razzias encouraged the inhabitants to group themselves on the higher land, resulting in about ten villages in Ostriconi, four of which are today in ruins.
