Church of the Assumption
Highlight • Religious Site
The architectural complex is made up of two clearly differentiated parts that correspond to two different periods in construction. One part corresponds to the first church, whose construction began at the end of the 15th century and was carried out in a Gothic style. The second part was built perpendicular to the first, with a Renaissance style doorway. With the construction of the second part, the temple complex was changed, acquiring a "T" shape, with the main chapel now placed in the center of the body of the first church. Around 1527 is estimated to be the year in which the first part of the complex was completed, with the participation of the Biscayan stonemason Ortuño de Villar, although the work of Master Rodrigo is also documented.

Monte Ardal
Highlight • Summit
In addition to the shelter, there is also an adapted recreation area with barbecues, tables, and covered by a porch. A few meters higher, from the geodesic point, the panoramic views are much more impressive.

Candelabra Pine
Highlight • Natural Monument
Age: It is estimated that some of the pines in this area are around 400 years old.
Height: 8 meters
The Candelabra Pine owes its name to its spectacular shape. 4 parallel arms emerge from its main trunk, giving it an appearance reminiscent of an old chandelier. It is part of an old black pine forest and was pardoned from logging mainly due to its elegant and particular demeanor.
It can be visited by going up Mount Ardal from Yeste, the pine tree is on the right in the penultimate curve before reaching the end of the climb.
