Tourism and main attractions
The Castle of Anento is a defensive military structure. It was recently excluded from the Red List of Heritage in Danger (Spain).
It is a small rock castle, due to the fact that the surface of the hill where it is located measures around 40 meters on the axis. The eastern side of the castle, where the moat is also located, is the best preserved.
The Torreón de San Cristóbal is a tower of Celtiberian origin. At present it is protected as an archaeological zone.
