The church of San Martín de Tours is the most important and significant building in the town, which also has good mansions, with bars and balconies of artistic value. As in most towns in the region, the church tower marks the most characteristic point of the La Mancha landscape.
With a height of more than 46 meters that make it visible from 10 kilometers around, it is a magnificent ashlar tower very different from others in the region, topped with a Renaissance lantern with decorative buttresses of Italian inspiration and crowned by a weathervane of wrought iron. Its interior is traversed by a steep spiral staircase that reaches the bells.
The church, late Gothic, with Renaissance elements from the 16th century, with a single nave with striking helical pillars and complicated rib vaults. The main cover, work of Jerónimo Quijano. Other critics attribute it to the great architect Andrés de Vandelvira. It is in the Renaissance style, very simple, with straight lines, with semi-recessed Doric columns.

The small town of La Gineta keeps a great treasure. It is a Gothic-Renaissance style church that impresses with the number of ornaments embedded in its structure. Without a doubt, it is worth visiting.
