Incredible rock formation remains of an old quarry near the town of Ortigosa del Monte. The stones for the Segovia aqueduct were extracted from here.

Having been used exclusively as a Palace for hunting in its surroundings and temporarily inhabited by Francisco Asís de Borbón and Alfonso XII, it is one of the current residences of the Spanish Royal Family. Built on a rectangular plan in Italian style, this palace has an art collection and a hunting museum worth visiting, being located on the Royal Sites Route, close to Segovia and La Granja de San Ildefonso. The palace was built with the permission of Ferdinand VI, tired of the interference in state affairs by Isabel de Farnese, the second wife of his father, Philip V. The queen consort ordered the palace to be built, for the king's peace of mind. However, his death brings Charles III, son of Isabel, to the throne. The latter then lost interest in the old Riofrío hunting reserve and the project remained unfinished, with only the palace and the large plaza built, without gardens.

One of the characteristics of the town is that it is home to the old medieval town that has been depopulated for centuries, called Matute. Hence the name of the current kernel.
