Main sights
- Historical Campidano-type houses.
- Church of St. Peter, dating from 11th century but mostly rebuilt in Gothic style under Aragonese control in the 16th century. The square façade and the lower part of the bell tower are from the 18th century. The interior has a nave with side chapels in Gothic style.
- Pre-Romanesque Church and Oratory of St. John (San Giovanni, 9th-10th century). It is unusual for its cross plan enclosed within a square, surmounted by a dome, while the arms of the cross are barrel-vaulted. The façade is in limestone. ::figure[src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fb/Monte_lattias_g1.jpg" caption="View of [[Monte Lattias]] in the territory of Assemini"] ::
