Dos Torres: Historic Ensemble, Festivals and Dehesa Trails

The historic ensemble of Dos Torres is a protected cultural heritage area designated and delimited by Decree 126/2003 of 6 May of the Junta de Andalucía. It includes the Plaza de la Villa, one of two squares located close to each other; both are significant for understanding the development of the urban fabric.

Culture and History

The Ermita de San Bartolomé dates from the 18th century, has a single nave and a small attached sacristy. The Parroquia de la Asunción, which belonged to the former Torremilano, was built in the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries and has three naves with pointed arches. The Iglesia de Santiago, the former parish church of Torrefranca, is a single-nave church from the 15th century with a wooden gabled roof supported by slightly pointed brick arches.

The Centro de Interpretación de la Arquitectura Popular is located in the rooms of a traditional upper-class residence dating from the final years of the 19th century or the early years of the 20th century. It presents the architectural heritage of Dos Torres and the traditional character of its historic buildings. The Pozo de la Nieve is considered a possible early Christian basilica in the style of original Romanesque architecture. Its interior is circular; remains of a Roman road and mining activity from the same period have been found in its surroundings.
