Church of the Virgin of the Rosary
It is a beautiful construction in the Mudejar style, estimated to be built in the 17th century, with a nave covered by armor. It is a unique church, with a façade built in a semicircular shape and steps for the entrance.
The chapel is striking, where the image of the Our Lady of Mount Carmel is also venerated by the population. During the Spanish Civil War, the inhabitants of the area hid the image of the Virgin of the Rosary inside a haystack, so that it was not destroyed.

The Castillico
Located in the municipality of Castro de Filabres, the Castle of Castro de Filabres, better known as the “Castillico”, is a vestige of the history of this town. It is said that in the 8th century, an Arab tribe that was persecuted, decided to enter these lands and take refuge.
In fact, "Castro" means "Camp" in Latin, referring to the camp that the first Arabs installed in this area. From the “Castillico” there are hardly any remains, but they are enough to demonstrate the Arab influence in these lands.
