Santa Maria d'Orsoleo, intended for the Observant Franciscan Friars, was built in 1474 by Eligio II della Marra, the Prince of Stigliano and Count of Aliano, expanding upon a previous 12th-century chapel.
The ancient wooden statue of the Madonna of Orsoleo, possibly from the 13th century, is still venerated today and celebrated every year on September 8th. The church that houses it, attached to the complex and lavishly adorned, features a notable wooden choir behind the main altar. Among the sculpted figures, there is also a Madonna with Child seated amidst branches of a tree, with a bear and a lion at her feet.
Various additions made over the years improved the structure, making it increasingly rich. The complex, which never lacked resources, thanks in part to generous donations, was once equipped with a library, a pharmacy, a mill, an oven, an ice house, an olive press, and two cisterns. The rooms were also enriched by a cycle of frescoes by the Lucanian painter Giovanni Todisco di Abriola, depicting episodes from the lives of saints and Christ, such as the Adoration of the Magi, which bears the painter's signature, as well as scenes of the Triumph of Death and Faith.
The nearby Torre Molfese, located along the road leading to the monastery, is believed to have originally served as a watchtower to protect travelers on their way to the convent.
The suppression of the monastic orders in 1861 led to the definitive decline and gradual abandonment of the entire complex.
The Broch of Clickimin is a large and well preserved, though somewhat restored broch near Lerwick. Originally built on an island in Clickimin Loch (now increased in size by silting and drainage), it was approached by a stone causeway. The water-level in the loch was reduced in 1874, leaving the broch high and dry. The broch is situated within a walled enclosure and, unusually for brochs, features a large 'blockhouse' between the opening in the enclosure and the broch itself. Another unusual feature is a stone slab featuring sculptured footprints, located in the causeway which approached the site. Situated across the loch is the Clickimin Leisure Centre.
