Historical center (XVI-XVII centuries)

Declared a Historic-Artistic Site, it is the maximum exponent of Maragata architecture. Its streets are paved with large boulders and flanked by stone houses with large green or blue gates, designed for the passage of muleteer wagons. It is a living museum where you can breathe the history of commerce and where time seems to have stopped on each facade.
