There are a sheer number of churches, chapels and places of worship along the old pilgrimage routes. Apparently not all can be nurtured and maintained. Here you will find the ruins of an old church and an old cemetery.

There are the ruins of an ancient church built in the 15th century, in the Gothic style, with stone walls and pointed arches. These ruins have great historical and cultural value and are surrounded by meadows and mountains that give it a mysterious and peaceful air.
