On the other hand, there are several towers and fortress in the area. We will highlight the Varona family's tower-palace, which dates back to the 14th century and is located in the town of Villanañe. This fortified monument has many military elements. Likewise, the sanctuary of Nuestra Señora de Angosto, from the 14th century, houses a Renaissance retable.
