Culture and History

Casa de la Cadena, also known as Casa de Portazgo, was built as a customs house in 1783. A chain stretched across the road was intended to prevent carts carrying goods from passing through without paying the applicable duties.

The Iglesia de San Juan Bautista was built between 1510 and 1587 as a hall church with three naves of equal height, star vaults and a polygonal, pentagonal apse.

The Casa Museo del Médico Rural illustrates the life of a rural doctor in the 20th century, as well as the development of medicine and his legacy in the community, through furniture, medical instruments and documents donated by the family. The house has been preserved as the family left it, offering visitors a journey through time.

The Ermita de la Purísima is considered to be the first temple in Spain dedicated to the Immaculate Conception.
