THE VILLAGE

 

The remains of the medieval castle s. XIV, small with a quadrilateral plan, about 25 m. by 15 m. but fortified by a tower at each corner, the entity and its walls keep part of the original construction standing, one of the most important defensive and control enclaves of the Community of Daroca against the continuous incursions of Castilian troops.

The church is dedicated to Santiago Apóstol, built at the end of the s. XV of late Gothic style, with several altarpieces highlighting that of the Virgen del Rosario s. XVIII, that of San Fabián and San Sebastián s. XVIII and San Antonio s. XIX.

There are two peirones, in honor of Nuestra Señora del Pilar and that of San Roque and San Lamberto.
