Once in the town of Santa Eufemia, go up to the castle with a good supply of water and calmly since it is very uneven

A small town where there is no shortage of things to see: the Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación Parish Church from the 14th century and the Puerta de Córdoba, popularly known as "Arco or Puerta de la Villa", with its lowered horseshoe arch are the obligatory points of interest. the visit.

The name of this town is wrapped in the legend of the 33 Calabrian knights who helped King Alfonso VII to conquer it. This story is so ingrained that the inhabitants are called Calabrians, but there are historians who associate the place name with the later Arabic name, Sant Ufimya.

Little remains of the castle, but the "Miramontes" thing is still true. It is of Roman origin, but the remains that can be seen are from an 11th or 12th century Arab fortress. Later it was conquered by King Alfonso VII with the support of 33 Italian knights from Calabria, a place of strong veneration for Saint Euphemia. That is why the town came to be called that and its inhabitants are still called Calabrians today.

A sign indicates that this is a good stargazing spot. Of course the sky feels really huge here.

It is the only door that remains from the late walled enclosure of Santa Eufemia. It is a lowered horseshoe arch flanked by Gothic columns, whose ashlars are magnificently preserved, forming one of the most endearing and suggestive corners of the town.
