It contains the ruins of an ancientMuslim castle, later converted for use byCastilian counts, which sits atop a hill that looks over the town. It also contains theRomanesque chapel of Santo Cristo. The village claims to be the venue for the firsthuman flight by air pioneerDiego Marín Aguilera, who was born in the town (a plane was placed by theSpanish Air Force by the castle as a reminder of this claim).[2] It was the birthplace of Bishop Agustín ofPopayán,Colombia.[citation needed]
