There are simple, traditional houses, as well as ancestral homes which were used by the landowners who had vast tracts of agricultural land in the area; for centuries this agricultural land provided the village´s main source of wealth.
The Parish Church of Saint Pere i Sant Pau is the most outstanding building in Algaida; it was constructed between the 16th and 17th centuries on the site of an earlier temple. The church has a single nave with a cross-vault roof and lateral chapels. Of particular note inside the building is the Baroque-style altarpiece, which includes a curious image of Mare de Déu de la Mamella, showing Mary breastfeeding the baby Jesus.
