An ancient Sican settlement was discovered on Colle Madore in Lercara Friddi, making the site an archaeological site. The simulacrum of the „SS. Crocifisso“ in the Chiesa di San Matteo in Lercara Friddi dates from the 16th or 17th century. Villa Rose in Lercara Friddi is a rare English-style building constructed by the Rose-Gardner family. The range of attractions in Lercara Friddi therefore extends from an ancient settlement and a historic simulacrum to a distinctive building.

The small church in Lercara Friddi also has a specific history: it was built by the residents of Lercara to preserve the holy image of Maria SS. di Costantinopoli. This image was found in 1807 by the eleven-year-old Oliva Beccarella. The procession of the Madonna di Costantinopoli takes place in Lercara Friddi on 20 August.
