The parish church of San Sebastián, from the beginning of the 12th century, is of Romanesque style. Of its primitive structure remains the tower, part of the arch of the entrance door and a biforia window; and in its interior the apsidal presbytery; totally renovated with a window in the headwall and a cornice of dice in all its perimeter.

Santo Domingo Convent and Torreon de los Guzmans

The Convent of Santo Domingo was built surrounding the Tower, the latter remaining in the courtyard of the convent. Another remnant of the former ancestral home of the Saint's family is the Bodega de la Beata Juana de Aza, mother of Santo Domingo. The Torreón de los Guzmán is a four-story rectangular tower, 17 meters high and implacably reinforced with two-meter thick walls. It dates from the tenth century, like other fortresses of La Ribera del Río Duero, which together formed a line of surveillance and defense in the midst of the reconquest.

Royal Monastery of Santo Domingo de Guzman

The cloister was built between the 13th and 15th centuries (late Romanesque). It preserves remains of the different stages of its construction, such as the low cloister with semicircular arches on paired columns, a Gothic ogival door and the 18th century cloister built in brick. The Museum, installed in a Gothic room, offers pieces of high artistic and historical interest, among them: polychrome stone carvings of the Virgin and the Angel Annunciator.

Las loberas

"Las Loberas" are located in the area known as "Las Rozadas". They are a treasure of popular architecture, rehabilitated as a museum. They are circular spaces inside the corrals, with a single entrance and a vent that shepherds used to spend the night and protect themselves from wolf attacks, if they entered the corrals.
