The city center rises on a hillock, of which church of the Santa Cruz stands out . It is a question of a baroque temple of the century XVIII, with a good tower of two bodies. His front, simple and elegant, turns out to be reached by a divided pediment that two flank óculos. It lost his art furniture during the Civil war, therefore today his interior decorates with stucco and diverse works of scarce importance compared with the missing persons. Along with the church we will find the ruins of the previous temple, of the XVIth century. Since it has being habitual, there survive two reduced arches that open the ancient market.
