Castillo de Zalia.
It is one of the remains of ancient fortifications best known in the town.
It is believed that it could have been built by the Arab peoples to reach a certain height in the cultivation of cereals and the raising of cattle.
It is located on the Nasrid royal road.
It has different building materials. In the outer enclosure has square cubes with semicircular masonry, while in the interior enclosure has two masonry towers.
Ceramic fragments belonging to the last stage of Islamic domination have been found.
Its towers present rest of the crowns of tapial merlatura, including elements that evacuate the rainwater. Remains of a large cistern can be seen in the interior or rectangular and cylindrical towers.
They have caled-wall walls that provide a smooth surface. It is said that they were part of the keep. Likewise, it maintains remains of masonry defined by gravel and slabs.
On the other hand, it has a walled enclosure, it has very thick walls of masonry -as has already been specified-, in addition to missing wall paintings.
Cueva del Boquete de Zafarra.
It is located at 1,100 meters of altitude. It is a cavity of average size, of which its entrance is placed under a vertical farallón.
A few meters from the entrance, it is bifurcated in two conduits; the one on the right, who presents archaeological deposits, and the one on the left, who has a vertical development.
This cave has not been characterized as a place of habitat, since remains of carnivores and humans have been observed through archaeological investigations, who used it for scarce days – or even hours -.
This is the deposit of the Iberian Peninsula that more Neanderthals have favored. Also, these remains were confirmed that are more recent than the set of artifacts found in Europe.
