This palace, built in 1804 by José Cayetano Rubín de Ceballos, was owned by the family until 1973, the year in which it became the property of Opus Dei for Christian formation and a spiritual retreat house.

The city’s bullring was built in 1892 with a capacity for 7,500 people, paid for by Cristóbal Acuña Solís. For its construction, materials from other demolished buildings were used, such as the convents of La Victoria and San Francisco and the remains of the old square. It was inaugurated on May 18, 1892, and a century later it was rehabilitated.
This eighteenth-century construction was used as the residence of the Marquises of Villareal. It was acquired by the Junta de Andalucía in the 1980s, although it is now in a ruined, abandoned state.
