The hermitage of Santa Cecilia de Vallespinoso de Aguilar, declared a Historic-Artistic Monument, combines nature, landscape and art. Its construction in the 12th century presents a rectangular nave with a cannon cover and a semicircular apse. Its exterior stands out with well-worked ashlars, a peculiar tower and an imposing cover. The interior impresses with its verticality and a beautiful staircase that joins the nave and head. Sculptures such as the Samson capital and the acanthus leaf capital accentuate its beauty.
