Some of the historic monuments of Civè include the former rectory, probably dating back to the 1600s, and the bell tower, whose lower part dates back to the founding period of the parish dedicated to Saints Donato and Sigismondo.

Fractions: Villa del Bosco
Villa del Bosco is one of the most populous fractions of the municipality of Correzzola, with a history dating back to the Roman era.

The Church of Saints Nicolò and Rocco, built around the 12th century, has been renovated over the centuries and is now an important place of worship in the area. The square that hosts it is dedicated to the fallen of the "Vittorio Veneto" battle (World War I).
