The Valmores watering hole was restored in 2022, recovering an essential piece in the ethnographic heritage of Pezuela de las Torres. The first references to the fountain appear in the Topographic Relations of 1578. In 1735, reforms and improvements were made to the original spring, making it essential in the daily life of the countryside. The construction has a functional design to water livestock at a crossroads of the Alcarreño moor with trees and benches to take a break.

Pezuela de las Torres acquired jurisdictional independence in 1554 for the payment of one and a half million maravedis, erecting a pillory in the Plaza del Coso that represented the power to administer justice and a place for the town's residents to see criminals who were being sentenced to a pillory. The pillory is seven metres high on a pedestal of four steps and is topped with the heads of four lions. Next to it is the Plaza de la Constitución, home to the Town Hall and the Church of the Assumption, with a Romanesque apse and the rest rebuilt between the 16th and 18th centuries. It has a curious stately doorway from 1748 and a 16th century porticoed gallery, known as El Portalillo, the former meeting centre of the council. Most of the town's streets are on a slope, facing the plain, some houses retain the traditional two-storey country architecture and white facades. On Cerro del Calvario there are remains of traditional wineries used to make wine.
