Nice remains of a castle located in an imposing place. Easy walk from town. You may see vultures "watching".

Rock castle that defended the border of Castile with the Kingdom of Aragon. It is worth going up and seeing the views A pity that the Junta de Castilla y León does not consolidate its walls.

Danmark Church

The first written record of church in Danmark locality date back to the year 1291. Close to the church are several stones with a Christian text and cross inscribed. The oldest parts of the present red-brick church are from the 1300s. In the late 1400s the church was enlarged to the appearance it has today. The church has been modified both internally and externally several times, among other things after the fires in 1699 and 1889. There are lot of well-preserved mural paintings in the walls.
