The 13th century castle is an excellent example of castles from this era. It is currently undergoing preservation work so that visitors to the castle can enjoy it for many years.

Very beautiful and atypical church, located on the secondary road to Santiago de Compostela and on the Francette bike. Large lawn with trees, ideal for a short break.
