Discover Ribatajadilla: Trails, Romanesque Architecture and Festivals

The Iglesia Parroquial de la Asunción in Ribatajadilla is a recently restored example of rural Romanesque architecture. The main route of the PR-CU 22 trail continues to Ribatajadilla and, on its way through the forest, heads towards El Calahorrano. These two points of access can be considered separately for your planning: architecture and a specific route run alongside each other here, without implying any ranking between them.

The additional selection of localities also includes Ribagorda.

Nature

The landscape can be differentiated for your own planning by trail, viewpoint, springs and mountain. The different terms allow for a calm comparison of the route, views and terrain features. A detour to the Mirador del cerro de la Cueva offers views of Ribatajadilla and the Comarca El Campichuelo. Ventano del diablo is a viewpoint in the surroundings of Ribatajadilla. Fuente de la Rimpollada is a spring in the surroundings of Ribatajadilla, and Fuente del Vallejo is also a spring in the surroundings of Ribatajadilla. Cerro Sancho is a mountain in the wider regional surroundings of Ribatajadilla.

Culture

The Castro celtíbero de Ribatajadilla became a Celtiberian hillfort during the Iron Age. The archaeological site of the Castro celtíbero de Ribatajadilla is located on a prominent hill beside a watercourse near the village of Ribatajadilla. The site includes a circular road that runs completely around a watchtower. The church of Ribatajadilla has a portal with a double pointed arch made of voussoirs and simple jambs. It also has a semicircular apse surrounded by pillar-like buttresses. For a view of history and architecture, you can consider the site and the church side by side as two different forms of cultural interpretation.

Culture and Festivals

Over the course of the year, two dated local festivals take place; for your travel planning, you can consider them as separate calendar points. The dates provide two clearly distinct temporal anchors for cultural planning. On 27 July, Ribatajadilla celebrates the pilgrimage in honour of Saint Pantaleon. On the eve, his image is brought to the parish church and subsequently returned to the hermitage. In Ribatajadilla, the festival in honour of Saint Anthony is celebrated on 13 June, together with the local tradition of distributing “caridad”.

For your own planning, you can classify the different spatial references separately. In the wider regional surroundings of Ribatajadilla, Ciudad Encantada is a ruin. Also in the wider regional surroundings of Ribatajadilla are Muralla, Museo Fundación Antonio Saura and Museo Diocesano de Cuenca, each of which is a museum.
