The chief village of the municipality is the village of Fiè allo Sciliar, which is also the seat of the town-hall, the cultural centre, the school and the parish church. The Maria Assunta church enthrones the village with its high steeple and seems to guard it. First mentioned in 1170, it was renewed between 1515 to 1570 by Leonhard von Voels. Of particular value is a Romanesque crucifix of 1200, which is one of the oldest of South Tyrol.
