Popular architecture
Its streets are an irregular layout and the town is renewed, while few examples that still show the old folk architecture."Casa Ubieto", "Casa Pablo" and "Casa Latas" stand out in the urban. On the other hand, "casa Escolano" shows the best features of vernacular architecture as the "serrablesa" chimney, framed windows and the typical oven.
Other items to note are the parish church of San Martín, the Hermitage in St. Lucia and the entire laundry and supplies.
San Martín parish church
The old church belonged to archpriesthood of Ahornes. The parish is mentioned among the archdeaconry of Camara and was dedicated to San Martín, with its image as the only existing in altar in 1499. At that time were kept in the church chalices of silver and nine liturgical codices. Today, church, modern-looking inside, stands on the outside of the tower, slim, reminiscent in appearance to those of Gállego. Back inside, access to the choir and the current northern foot of the wall, we find ourselves with a gateway arch, with projecting imposts bevel, forming a horseshoe arch false style of Gállego mozarabe.
Santa Lucía chapel
A chapel was built in 1701 in honour of Santa Lucía. It was renewed in 1981, when it was in ruins.
Water springs and supply
Town is water supplied from tanks in next Santa Lucia hill (they also supply to Sabiñanigo, municipality head). Although, from old age, town was supplied by water springs located behind the church, in a hollow of surrounding terrain. Washing place and water springs were recently renewed.
Water from spring is stored in a small reservoir for its use in close green gardens.
A new water spring was discovered in the early 1990s and was acondicionated in a new fountain called "La fontañona", which is situated just down the dam.
Festivities
Main festivities are in honor of San Martín (11 November) and minor ones are in honor of Santa Lucia (13 December).
