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 of the towns in the region, the church tower marks the most characteristic point of the Manchego landscape.
With a height of more than 46 meters that make it visible from 10 kilometers in all directions, it is a magnificent masonry tower very different from others in the region, topped with a Renaissance lantern with decorative Italianate-inspired buttresses and crowned by a weathervane of wrought iron. Its interior is crossed 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 helicoidal pillars and complicated ribbed vaults. The main cover, the 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.
