The Charterhouse
Highlight • Historical Site
It was built in the 17th century by the Carthusian monks of the Monastery of El Paular (Rascafría).
Its main function was agricultural, serving as a pantry and storehouse for products such as grain, wine, oil, and livestock to supply the mother monastery.
The complex includes a wine cellar, chapel, cloister, stables, wine press, and other outbuildings that reflect the monastic and agricultural life of the time.
Declared a Site of Cultural Interest (BIC) in the category of Monument in 2022, it preserves construction techniques from the 16th to the 18th centuries and maintains the historical landscape of the Jarama river valley.

Church of San Juan Bautista
Highlight • Religious Site
It was built in the late 12th or early 13th century in the Romanesque style.
The Romanesque apse is the oldest and most artistic element, consisting of five sections separated by engaged columns.
In the 16th century, the main body of the church was demolished and rebuilt in the Renaissance style, with three naves separated by limestone arches.
In the 17th century, the Avendaños Chapel was added to the presbytery.
It was declared a Site of Cultural Interest on June 3, 1931.
