The most important monument in Jarandilla de la Vera is the castle-palace of the Counts of Oropesa, where Charles I stayed before moving to the Monastery of Yuste. This 15th-century castle, built on an ancient fortress, reflects the medieval history of the town, which was also briefly linked to the Knights Templar. Today, anyone can stay here, as it is a tourist parador. A natural highlight is the Jaranda Gorge, which runs through Jarandilla and offers a fresh and accessible natural environment next to the town center.
