Ermita de la Virgen del Pilar, a small modern chapel located on the other side of the river.
Parish Church of San Juan Bautista, 19th century, in neoclassical style. It has three covered naves, the central one with a half-barrel vault and the lateral ones with a groin vault. The four parts of the tower, the two lower ones square and the upper ones octagonal, stand next to a façade whose simplicity makes it interesting.
