Fortification located in the town of Leiva, La Rioja. It is a fortified palace with a rectangular floor plan, with a tower located at each corner. Three of the towers are octagonal, and the one on the southeast corner, considered the keep, is decagonal in plan and taller. The origin of the castle was a tower erected in 1335 by Juan Martínez de Leiva. After sinking, in 1478 the construction of the castle began. The building has undergone numerous modifications, especially from the 17th century, in which it abandoned its defensive character and became solely residential. Later, already in the 20th century, it was used as an agricultural warehouse and offices. Starting in the year 2000, a reconstruction of elements such as the southern part of the west canvas and the southeast tower began.

Cuzcurrita de Río Tirón is a municipality in Rioja Alta. It is crossed by the Tirón river settling at the foot of the El Bolo forest. One of the landmarks of the town is the bridge that crosses the river and from where you can see the Church of San Miguel Arcángel and the Castillo de los Velascos.

This church, which is dedicated to the Holy Cross (Latin "Santa Croce"), relates its patron saint to the cross on which Jesus Christ died. The veneration of the Holy Cross goes back in large part to Saint Helena, who was the mother of Emperor Constantine the Great (who, after his victory at the "Milvian Bridge" outside Rome, recognized Christianity as a religion and in 312 the long time of persecution ended with the Milan “Tolerance Edict”). In the early fourth century she undertook a pilgrimage to the Holy Land (Israel / Palestine) and brought numerous relics from there to Europe, including the "True Cross" on which Jesus Christ was crucified. Helena is therefore often depicted with a cross as an attribute. The Church celebrates the feast of the discovery of the Holy Cross - called "Exaltation of the Cross" - on September 14th.

This little church is right next to the big church. It is originally from the 12th century. Particularly impressive is the portal. Sightseeing possible on request.
