*Roman aqueduct bridge with two tiers of arches and other parts of the '''aqueduct of Cornelius'''
*Roman amphitheatre probably from the Augustan age built into houses between Via Garibaldi and Via San Marco. It has a double ambulatory, a remarkable for such a small building (around 98 x 75 m). The cavea was partly excavated and partly built up: a part of the lower order of the arches remains visible high on the western part (in via Anfiteatro).
*[[Temple of Victory (Himera)|Temple of Victory at Himera]]
*Cathedral of St. Nicholas of Bari (1604). It houses a statue by [[Giorgio da Milano]] (1487) and several works by [[Ignazio Marabitti]].
*Church of St. Catherine of Alexandria (1?th{{when|date=October 2020}}-16th centuries). It is home to a series of frescoes depicting the life of the namesake saint.
*Church of Santa Maria di Gesù (late 15th century). Works inside include a sculpture attributed to Giorgio da Milano and a high-relief by [[Domenico Gagini]] (c. 1480)

===Aqueduct===

The Roman aqueduct bridge is the largest and best preserved of the island.

The source was located 5&nbsp;km east of the city, at the foot of Monte San Calogero where the remains of the two settling tanks can still be seen in the locality of Brucato.

The aqueduct needed to cross the Barratina stream and the earliest the crossing was made at Fontana Superiore with a siphon about 600 m long, of which the well preserved hexagonal compression tower remains, 16 m high and resting on a square plinth of 6 m sides. On five of the sides were windows and from the east side the conduit started. On this tower was once a large inscription, now disappeared: ''aquae Cornealiae ductus p. XX''. The last letters ("twenty feet") perhaps corresponds to the sides of the building.

Later it seems that the aqueduct passed further downstream: in Figurella a double-order bridge of arches is still visible (originally nine in the lower, fifteen in the upper: two arches for each order collapsed), 14 m high. The structure with facing blocks is the same as that of the amphitheatre and the curia and shows that it belongs to the same building project of the Augustan colony.
