The Baronial Palace of the Basurto family is a big XVI century monument. It was restored in the XVII century but the elegant decorations of the windows and of the ashlar portal are the original ones. Inside the visitor can see and appreciate some XVIII century frescos. The most important church is the Parish dedicated to Our Lady of the Assumption: it was built at the beginning of the XVII century in baroque style. The elegant façade has a richly decorated portal and inside the tourist can see some baroque altars and a crypt dedicated to the Engaged Lady. An other church of great importance is the Sanctuary of the Madonna of the Graces, that was built in the XVIII century on a pre-existing XVI century monument. The façade is in baroque style and it has three portals well decorated. Each year a lot of believers go on pilgrimage to this Sanctuary. The small church of St Saviour is very ancient and it was built in the XI century. It is Greek cross and inside there are marvellous frescos in Byzantine style. The Church of the Announced and the Chapel of St. Domenico date back to the XVII century. Outside  the inhabited centre there is the beautiful crypt of St. Lasi and it dates back to the VI century. Inside there are some traces of ancient frescos,  and a rudimentary altar dug in the rock. The protectress of Sanarica is the Madonna of the Graces, that is celebrated on September 8th.

The nickname of the inhabitants of Sanarica is "tira trai", a dialectal expression meaning those people pulling  the beams. According to an improbable popular story during the construction of the Parish, the head mason noticed that the main beam was shorter than the others and he asked the workers to pull the beam from each side to lengthen it. This expedient didn't work of course and the people from Sanarica were called "tira trai".
