It is one of the main archaeological sites of the medieval era, the ruins of the old town of Moya are worth visiting and it is a nice tour for the whole family. It dates from the 13th century and in its heyday it was the seat of the former Marquesado de Moya who occupied a vast area of land in the area.

Very pretty town located on top of a small hill in the Hoya de Matea, in an enclave between mountains. The continuation of the road goes towards the Cunázara pass.

The location of the Moya ruins, on a ridged hill, at an altitude of 1,149 m, "gives it a privileged strategic position", since from its summit a splendid panorama can be seen in the direction of the four cardinal points
