The Church of Sant Valentí de Salarsa is the architectural highlight of this village. The restoration works begun in 2018 have succeeded in reversing the effects resulting from seismic activity in the zone to preserve an important example of Romanesque cultural heritage within the municipality.
Salarsa consists of a collection of farmhouses set on a plain around the Salarsa river, and also includes a guest house and a small riding centre.
It offers visitors the chance to enjoy a variety of interesting hiking routes.
