The main square in this area offers a glimpse into the rich heritage of the region, while the Nercón Church, designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, serves as a testament to the architectural prowess of early 20th-century builders. This iconic structure, originally constructed in 1890, has been recognized as a significant national monument.
