Motilla del Azuer Archaeological Site
Highlight • Historical Site
The Bronze Age emerges in La Mancha lands where water is of great importance due to its scarcity and this dates back to ancient times, so inside the patio the inhabitants of Azuer dug a well until reaching the water table, at a depth of about 16 meters, to supply water to the settlement. Its functionality experienced variations during the different phases of occupation, being also used as an occasional stabling area for sheep, goats and pigs, but mainly as a cereal store (barley and wheat). The grave goods are scarce, except in exceptional cases of adult individuals buried with ceramic vases, daggers with copper rivets and awls of this same metal, which could indicate a hierarchical society. This profound journey to the second millennium BC is not only well preserved but also magical and unique.

Our Lady of the Assumption
Highlight • Religious Site
Dates from the 16th century. It has a beautiful Plateresque doorway with a tympanum and fan-shaped trumpets. The reliefs of the Assumption, the figure of God the Father and the musical angels stand out.
The interior is simple and austere with a single nave with an octagonal apse and a tower at its feet. It has a Latin cross floor plan of 1,200 m2 and is framed by five side chapels.
Currently in rehab.

Castillo de Pilas Bonas
Highlight • Castle
The reasons for its construction would probably be the proximity to the Azuer River, the existence of wells with abundant water or the crossing of roads and trails.

Castillo de Manzanares
Highlight • Castle
The reasons for its construction would probably be the proximity to the Azuer River, the existence of wells with plenty of water or the intersection of roads and paths.
