The Tower is the icon of Villarejo de Salvanés, it is a unique model of a keep among the constructions of medieval fortresses. Around it there are remains of the walls and rooms that completed the complex of the old castle of the town, occupied for several centuries by the knights of the Order of Santiago. The Plaza de la Constitución concentrates a good part of the monumental Villarejo de Salvanés, opposite the Tower is the church of San Andrés Apóstol, imposing and with tower-shaped buttresses that give a defensive appearance to the building. And one corner is occupied by the Casa de la Tercia, headquarters of the Encomienda Mayor de Castilla and current Ethnographic Museum. An interesting place for fans of the seventh art is the Museo del Cine, the first professional film museum in Spain.

A small town near Madrid that is worth visiting to stroll through its streets and enjoy its typical cuisine. Its main attraction is its Plaza Mayor, an example of the architecture of Castilian porticoed squares - with 234 balconies - and where most of the restaurants are concentrated. But it is worth strolling through its streets, going up to see the Church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, where we can see Goya's painting "The Assumption of the Virgin". In addition, in front of the church there is a viewing point from which there are excellent views of the Plaza Mayor and the entire town. There is also the Clock Tower and the Lope de Vega Theatre, all just a few metres away. Other places of interest are the Parador de Chinchón, a former Augustinian convent; the Castle of the Counts of Chinchón, the Casa de la Cadena, the hermitages of San Antón and San Roque.
