In  the historical centre it s possible to see and visit some very nice case a corte and noble residences as Scoto Palace that dates back to the XVII century and it has a wonderful façade. Balsamo Palace was built  in the XVI century while Pisanelli Palace and  Panese Palace  were built in the XVIII century. Risolo Palace was built on the rests of an ancient XVI century monument: on its imposing façade there is the coat of arms of the family and a stately portal. The Mother Church  is dated 1600 and it has been restores many times so far. The Church of St Eufemia is very interesting to see and it was erected in the XVI century. A historical document of the beginning of the XVIII century says that  the church had three altars, two of them were dedicated to the saint the left one to the Madonna. Once there were a painting and a fresco representing St Eufemia. In 1960, Don Salvatore Palese pressed for the jobs of restoration since the church was not in good condition. A Km  from the Church of St Eufemia you can visit  the Church of the Madonna of the Footstep, where there is an ancient crypt and you can admire the rests of very beautiful frescos. The Church of the Franciscans and the attached Convent were built in  1500, in Gothic style. The church of St. Nicholas  was restored in the XVI century and it has a very simple façade. Outside  the urban centre, near  the Church of St Demetrio, you can see the rests of an ancient  monument dating back to the Byzantine age. The Chapel of St Catherine  of Alexandria  was built in the XVI century and  inside the walls are completely covered with interesting frescos. The protector of this small town is St Nicholas that is celebrated solemnly on December 6th.

The nickname of the inhabitants of Specchia is "scurlisci" that derives from a dialect verb "scurliscire", meaning "to slip". The nickname makes reference to the fact that on the roads of this small town you can slip easily, but it also connected to a popular anecdote (probably untrue) according to which  the priest of Specchia, having been informed that a great sum of money had been destined to his parish, asked his fellow citizens  to invest such sum in the restoration of the church and of the main square. All the population agreed but when the priest asked them if they wanted the roads to be paved  a man stood up and answered that it was not a good idea, otherwise  asses and  horses could have slipped.
