The Jewish cemetery in Mala Dobron’ already existed in 1855, as evident from the inscription on the oldest tombstone. It was in use until WWII. There is one post-war burial dating from 1973.

The foundation of the Mala Remeta monastery is traditionally attributed to the Serbian King Dragutin Nemanjić in the 13th century, although the oldest sources mentioning its existence date back to the 16th century. It is one of the 16 surviving Orthodox monasteries built between the 15th and 18th centuries on the Fruška Gora mountain in Serbia (also known as the Serbian Mount Athos).

It is not known when the Jewish cemetery in Vysoká pri Morave was established. The date of the last burial in the cemetery is also unknown. For 70 years, the cemetery was largely abandoned. Undoubtedly, the main reason was that none of the Jews from the village who were deported to concentration camps survived. All the tombstones were lost during the socialist era.

The Malaga Cathedral is nicknamed "La Manquita" (one-handed) because it was never given a second tower. The church built from 1528 to 1782 is considered one of the most valuable Renaissance buildings in Andalusia; and is therefore listed Heritage since 1931.

The Romanesque basilica built in the 14th century with three nave, polygonal chancel and west tower served as Maria’s sanctuary until the Reformation. From the fortification system built in the 15th/16th centuries only the defence level on the tower and the ruins of the fortification wall are still preserved. The defence levels above the nave and chancel were destroyed in a fire and dismantled in the 19th century. Today the church shows untypical non-plastered stone wall, as result of the restoration of 1913 that followed the tradition of the 19th century. In addition to the significant frescoes, the church shows many excellent carvings, as the tracery of the windows, the western portal and other sculptural details. The interior of the church shelters one of the oldest Gothic winged altar, having the Mother of God as the central motif, and a late Gothic pew with carvings, coming from the workshop of Johann Reychmut.

The Malangen church is a wooden church dating from 1853. It was designed and built by local people.

The Malatesta Temple, founded in the 9th century, was rebuilt in the 15th century by Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta, Rimini's most famous ruler. Filled with works by famous Renaissance artists such as Leon Battista Alberti and Piero della Francesca, the church was never completed. In 1809, the church has been consecrated as a cathedral with the title of Santa Colomba.

There is evidence to believe that there already was a church in Malexander during the 13th century. It is mentioned for the first time in 1345. This church, which was built of wood, burned down in 1587. Afterward, a new wooden church was built. The church building became too small for the parish from the 19th century onwards. The construction of a new stone church started in 1877 and finished in 1881. The wooden church was demolished a year later. In 1929, the new stone church also burned down, but it was rebuilt in 1931.
