El Boalo

  1. San Sebastián Parish Church. It is a neoclassical church from the 17th century with a recently restored facade. It is located in the southern part of the town centre and its bell tower covered in stork nests is a feature to be highlighted. It is also home to the patron saint of the town, San Sebastián.
  2. Local Police Station. Centre for Retired Persons. Despite being a traditional type of construction, it is a recent one. It was built from stone from the area. It used to be a private house that was converted into a public place by the town hall, using it as a Retirement Center. Actualy is currently used as Local Police Station.
  3. Plaza de la Constitución. This square was previously rectangular and was open on the southern part. Recently, the town hall building was built on that side, so nowadays the square is enclosed on all sides.
  4. School Group. It was built at the end of the 19th century and it contains a semi-circular arch in the entrance. It is part of a schooling program and until quite recently it was being used as a children’s school. During that period, several generations of locals studied there. Nowadays, it is used as a local court.
  5.  Centre for Elderly Persons. It is a modern building from the second half of the 20th century built with stone from the area. It is located on the southeastern part of town away from the town centre.
  6. Traditional Housing. Built with stones from Cerceda’s quarry, the majority of which are found alongside the main road, so we can deduce the town’s origins from the surrounding areas. Though they are not particularly old, they were built according to the traditional rural typology and took the place of the old livestock housings that were there before.
