Monuments

The most notable monument in Riogordo is la Church of Our Lady of Grace, from 1490. The temple has a basilica plan, with naves separated by semicircular arches. Its dressing room and its square tower, with a four-sided roof, are the most outstanding elements of the temple.

​

On the same street as the church is the Ethnographic Museum. Its facilities, located in an old mill, include oil and flour mills, cellars, a wine room, a wine press, elements of a 19th century house, and a chapel from El Paso de Riogordo.

​

Strolling between manor houses and whitewashed houses, you come to the hermitage of San Sebastián or Jesús Nazareno. This 17th century building consists of a nave covered by a barrel vault with richly decorated lunettes. The dressing room with the image of the Nazarene is a true Baroque jewel.

​

Other signs of religious devotion are the thirteen chapel-niches scattered around the town and the mural dedicated to El Paso de Riogordo.
