The school buildings are named after the Count of Padul, who ordered their construction: 'San Isidoro' and 'Don Isidoro'.

Also known as the 'Lavadero de San Joaquín y Santa Ana' during the first three quarters of the twentieth century, this laundry area was the social centre of the town as it was where all the women met to do their washing.

Since ancient times, seventeen crosses have been placed along the streets of Padul to symbolise the religious faith of its inhabitants.

Also known as the Castillo-Palacio de los Condes de Padul, or simply El Castillo, this 16th-century civil palace was built on the site of a fortified house.

The chapel houses a sculpture of the town’s patron saint, San Sebastián. It was built thanks to local donations. Construction of the eighteenth-century chapel was prompted by a plague that devastated the Lecrín Valley but spared Padul itself.

The Padul tram station, which is now home to the Lecrín Valley Tourist Office, witnessed the inauguration of the important transport link between Granada and the south of the province on 10 February 1923.

Dating to the sixteenth century, the church has undergone several modifications and restorations. The main nave's configuration corresponds to the original design, with the apse and two side naves being added later.
