Main sights
The most ancient edifice is the Oratory of St. Lawrence, a small Romanesque devotional building dating from the 13th century.
The road between Cerlongo and Guidizzolo, in the communal territory of Cavriana, was the location of Alfonso de Portago's fatal accident in the 1957 Mille Miglia. A memorial slab remembers the event along the road.
