Urban Center

The urban center of Zahara de la Sierra, declared a Historic-Artistic Site in 1983, is a labyrinth of Andalusian heritage. Its narrow cobbled streets climb up the hillside, flanked by whitewashed houses with whitewashed facades and irregular walls. This winding layout retains the air of yesteryear, offering corners full of magic and spectacular views of the reservoir from its viewpoints.

Clock Tower

The Clock Tower is one of the most beloved symbols of Zahara. Located next to the Hermitage of San Juan Letran, this tower of medieval origin was transformed in the sixteenth century to house the town clock. Its silhouette stands out against the white farmhouse and, from its privileged location, offers stunning panoramic views of the village and the mountains, acting as an eternal watchtower of time.
