Cagli Cathedral was begun in 1292 and completed in the 14th century. The building was completely restructured from 1646 and consecrated on October 10, 1677. The work was completed in 1754 with the works carried out in the chapel of the Santissimo Sacramento. The violent earthquake of 3 June 1781 caused the collapse of the dome and a large part of the building. A vast reconstruction was necessary and the new cathedral, deprived of the dome, was reopened to the public in 1792. In 1997, a new earthquake required further interventions and the cathedral was finally returned to the public in 2004.

The main façade, also known as the "Puerta del Moral", is in Baroque style, built between 1680 and 1704 by the brothers Raón, Juan and Santiago, to replace the previous Gothic-style façade built at the end of the 15th or beginning of the 16th century.

The Câlnic castle was built around 1270 and equipped with a residential tower, defence wall and a water ditch featuring a drawbridge. After the castle was taken over by the Saxon community, it was expanded through the construction of a second defence wall and a southern tower. For a better defence against sieges, granaries and several rooms were attached to the fortification wall, however they did not last to the present day. The fortress was provided with a small single-nave church featuring a semicircular apse towards the end of the 15th century. During the construction of the second defence wall, the water ditch was covered up and the drawbridge replaced with a gatehouse featuring a portcullis. Today, an association of the University of Cluj administrates the facility.
