Nowadays its urban helmet is Historical-Artistic Set and the Collegiate Church of Santa Maria the Major (formerly a castle), is now National Monument. Its medieval past is still alive in its streets, in its houses, in the Gothic gateway to the square and in its 17th century museum. You can also find samples of rock art in the caves of the Rio Vero Cultural Park.
