THINGS TO SEE OUTSIDE THE VILLAGE

Several of Osuna's most impressive buildings can be found on a hilltop overlooking the town, which is reached either on foot up a picturesque but steep pedestrian street (Calle San Anton), or by car - you can park in Plaza de la Encarnación or the large square behind the church, Plaza de Luis de Soto Torres.

El Coto Las Canteras
El Coto Las Canteras is a result of natural erosion from rain and wind water, as well as manual erosion from the fifth century BC until the 60's. Today it is used for celebrations, concerts and cultural visits. This is also where much of the golden sandstone used for Osuna's buildings has been quarried since pre-Roman times. Today the magnificent natural auditorium is used for special events, and the Canteras opened to the public in 2017. More>
