The labyrinthine streets of Cretas will take you walking to authentic monumental treasures. Stroll along Calle Mayor de la Villa, one of the oldest and most important streets.

This Gothic-Renaissance style temple was erected in 1566 on the old wall of the town.
The Plaza Mayor is a work of art crowned with a central column from the 16th century and known as the Roll of Justice. It is surrounded by the Town Hall, the old prison and several taverns to have a bite to eat. Afterwards, the visit continues to the 18th century Turull House, with a beautiful baroque façade; and through the various portals of the town: the Chapel Portal of San Antonio de Padua and the Portal of San Roque.
