It is a National Monument and the heart of the historic center.
Old Town

2. Old Town

Strolling through Letur is a journey into the past. Its historic center is one of the best examples of Mudejar architecture in Castilla-La Mancha. It is characterized by narrow, labyrinthine and steep streets, full of arches and wooden portals. The flowers on the balconies and the sound of the water running through the side irrigation ditches create a unique atmosphere of peace that captivates those who walk through it.
El Charco de las Canales

3. El Charco de las Canales

It is a natural pool located in the urban center, fed by the crystalline waters of the Letur stream. Surrounded by vegetation and stone walls, it is the perfect place to cool off in summer. The water flows from here to the nearby orchards through an ingenious system of canals, integrating nature in a masterful way in the design of the town.
La Molatica viewpoint

Known as the "balcony of Letur", it offers spectacular views of the valley, the orchards and the Segura River. From here you can see how the town sits on a huge limestone rock, forming a natural defensive complex. It is the ideal place to understand the strategic location of the town and to contemplate the contrast between the white stone and the intense green of the surroundings.
