Iglesia Parroquial de San Miguel Arcangel.

The current church dates back to the mid-eighteenth century. The original church, which was built around 1539, was a temple with three naves and a separate main chapel. It was burned down by the Moors during the rebellion and later rebuilt in 1582 using chestnut wood. Throughout the seventeenth century, the church suffered numerous repairs, but its condition was such that it was deemed to be in imminent danger of ruin, and it was recommended that it be demolished and rebuilt in a different location. However, due to opposition from neighbours, this was not carried out, and the church was rebuilt in its original location. It is located on Carretera de la Iglesia.
