Town Hall
Although its construction dates back to 1988, which is quite recent compared to other historic buildings in the area, the truth is that the Town Hall is an imposing and beautiful building, which draws attention from the start.
Its location, in the heart of Arboleas, also makes it a worthwhile visit, since it is located in the heart of the city, next to the Constitution Square.

The Clock Tower
The Clock Tower, known as "El Castillo", has more than 800 years of history. It was built as a watchtower for the old mosque that was in the area, and from where the surroundings and the river were observed, so as to avoid any enemy incursion.
Legend has it that the clock of the tower, which had held for years, was stolen by residents of the neighbouring town, although the reasons and the veracity of this information is unknown.
