| Roman Bridge |

|
This is one of the most representative symbols of the region and a Historic-Artistic monument since the year 1931.

| Chapel of Santa Cruz |
|
|
Located in Contranquil, it is great historic value, due to the year in which it was built, on a dolmen, in 437. The chapel was rebuilt by King Favila in 737 for the safekeeping of the Cross of Victory, and it is thought that it was used as a tomb. The most recent reconstruction work was done after the Civil War and the dolmen, dating from 3000 years B.C., was uncovered. The stone blocks on the sides are cut from this dolmen. |
