A village with predominantly medieval characteristics, made up of two walled nuclei, the Citadel and the Barbacã. The oval-shaped citadel corresponds to the old burgh, formed after the foral of D. Sancho II. The new burgh or Arrabalde de San Pedro, protected by a Dionysian wall, was once guarded by eight towers, partially destroyed by the earthquake of 1755.
