The Alfaro Abbey Palace is the city's most prominent civil building, constructed in the 18th century according to plans by Ventura Rodríguez to serve as the abbot's residence and as a storage facility for wine tithes. Following the confiscation of church property in 1855, it passed into the hands of the State and today houses the Cultural Center and several municipal offices.

Collegiate Church of San Miguel

Highlight • Religious Site

The collegiate church of San Miguel Arcángel is one of the most imposing temples in La Rioja, easily recognizable by its enormous brick facade and its twin towers. Its interior houses numerous chapels and a remarkable Renaissance choir, making the visit a very complete tour of different artistic styles. Furthermore, on its roof lives the largest colony of white storks in the world on a single building, something unique that makes it even more worthwhile to visit.
