Hermitage of San Juan de Letrán, whose origins date back to 1515, when it was a hospital run by Franciscan Conceptionists who established their convent there. From the 16th century onwards it was only a hermitage. It preserves a carving of Saint John the Evangelist from the 18th century and a contemporary Crucifixion by the local carver Julián González García. Guided tours must be arranged in advance at the Cultural and Tourist Information Centre.
