The church stands on the ruins of an Arab mosque as a result of the conquest of the town from the Islamic forces by Fernando III of Castile. The church is consecrated to the patron saint of the city, Santa Marta, and according to tradition, the remains of the Carvajal Brothers, Knights of the Order of Calatrava, who were executed in Martos in 1312, are buried there.

This high fortress is the ruins of a fourteenth-century castle built by the Order of Calatrava, which was itself built over the ruins of another ancient Arab fortress; this, in turn, was constructed over another primitive Iberian-Roman fortification.

The urban castle, together with Castillo de la Peña, makes up one of the most important defenses that the Order of Calatrava had protecting the Kingdom of Granada.

This tower was built in the thirteenth century by the Calatravos monks, a solid ashlar construction with a height of approximately 25m. It is currently undergoing restorative works.

The main tower of Castillo de la Villa offers excellent views over the fortress. Situated at the highest part of the city, it remains in a good state of conservation, having been restored.

Only a few fragments remain or are visible of the defensive wall, such as wall sections around the Castle and towers. The enclosure was oval-shaped, with each end pointing east and west respectively. Work is being carried out to recover and consolidate the fragments that are still standing.

The Town Hall is situated in the former jail and council building, a monumental work that collects the most outstanding and innovative aspects of Andalusian Mannerist architecture.

An ornamental fountain also by architect and sculptor Francisco del Castillo, finished in 1586. This architectural element is representative of the flourishing historical period of Martos, at the end of the sixteenth century, belonging to the Mannerist Renaissance style.

A remarkable seventeenth-century building, dated in keeping with the stately architecture of the surroundings. The façade, unlike the Baroque style of other buildings of the Order, is contrastingly sober.

The convent dates to the sixteenth century and had an important impact on the population of Martos. Its façade stands out for its decorative richness, featuring stone renderings of human faces, foliage, geometric elements and shields.

The church dates from the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, with a single nave that has deep square chapels on both sides that communicate with each other and also with the transept.

The farmhouse is an easily accessible and spacious spot, ideal for people from the adjoining towns to get together on summer nights to enjoy the meteor shower. The wide horizon which the farmhouse faces is extremely dark at night, free from light pollution.

The Extra Virgin olive oil comes from the Picual olive selected and harvested on the Cortijo El Madroño estate. It is kept in an inert atmosphere in stainless steel cellars at constant temperatures so that the oil maintains all of its properties, which are reminiscent of the olive groves, almond trees and other aromatic herbs on the estate; leaving a mild, oily and fruity taste in the mouth, with aromas that blend well in the nose.

Of the old defensive system that existed in Higuera de Calatrava, only the keep remains today, which dates from somewhere between the late thirteenth century and early fourteenth centuries.

Also known as Iglesia de la Purísima Concepción, the church is a Gothic-Renaissance temple built throughout the sixteenth century and later renovated. On its site stood the medieval Iglesia de Santa María, the remains of which are still evident on the south wall and main façade.

Casa del Párroco is representative of the popular Baroque architecture of the seventeenth century. It is a peculiar structure of recesses and projections, creating at the same time optical and perspectival illusions due to its broken shapes and angularity.

The construction of the church concluded in 1796. Covered with gabled tiles, the building consists of a single floor with large pointed and whitewashed arches, which show a later remodeling and give rise, on the Evangelist side, to four niches that host processional images.

This interesting structure was once the flour factory. Built in 1930 and in operation until 1974, it is one of the oldest flour mills preserved in the province.

The Town Hall is a simple and functional building with a long and low structure.

The tower, also known as “El Torreón”, is located about 452 meters above sea level, in the watershed defined by the Cerrillo del Limón and El Torreón, with the limit of the municipal term of Fuerte del Rey 4400 meters to the south, and that of Cazalilla 7700 meters to the north.
