VISIT

Located on a hillock, this completely walled town retains his belt. Century castle XIV, now the municipal cemetery. Doors of the Villa and Quicksilver. Gothic parish church of head and body being reborn. Ethnographic Centre Joaquín Díaz. On the outskirts of the town is the Hermitage of the Annunciation (XII century), built in the Lombard Romanesque style. Urueña
La Villa offers a clear example of fortified English town. Its rectangular castle, has cylindrical buckets in the corners and center of the walls except located in the south corner is square. In reality, his appearance does not differ externally from the wall, except for the greater height of the walls. The wall is masonry, flanked at intervals by semicircular cubes. Most notable are the two gates of the town, facing the valley and the quicksilver, into the wilderness. The first presents a pointed arch and has rake slot and holes for the hinges of the door, the second to be open to ground level, is flanked by two tall has cubes that form a narrow alley before reaching it. All these military constructions are difficult to date, because of its extensive reconstruction, but we can date them around century XIV.
