What to see in Partaloa
Church of Saint Anthony
The Parochial Church of Saint Anthony of Padua is the most important religious building in Partaloa, although it is relatively new construction. The Church has been dedicated to the patron saint of the town, Saint Anthony of Padua, who was named a patron saint of the city at the time of the Catholic Monarchs.
During the earthquake of 1973, the original church suffered substantial damages that affected its structure, preventing its access and use, since there was a risk of collapse and this endangered the lives of the parishioners.

In the new construction the old bell and some elements of the original church, which survived the earthquake, have been used.

This viewpoint is particularly appreciated during the winter, when the view, in its beauty, is covered in white.
The carob tree
On the outskirts of the town, on one of the highest points, there is a carob tree that is considered the symbol of the town.
Surrounded by the natural fortress that has formed the stones of the hills that surround the town, this tree has many years of history and is jealously protected by the people, although the inhabitants say that it is the carob tree that protects them. Its figure is represented in the flag and the shield of the town.
