Historical and Cultural Heritage
Ruins of the Castle. It is among the Templar enclaves of Teruel, and is mentioned in the document of annexation of the Order of Monte Gaudio, who would be its owners until its dissolution and annexation to the Order of the Temple.
Of the old Templar castle there are few ruins left, located at the top of the cliff known as "el Mortero": a retaining wall, two closing walls supported on the cliffs, of which one is complete and of the other only a part remains, a wall that seems to have been an interior division and a circular depression that, according to popular tradition, is a well that penetrated the entire mountain until it reached the nearby Guadalaviar River.
Ermita de la Virgen de la Huerta, located one kilometer from the village, note that the current image of the Virgin is a copy of the old Romanesque carving.
Ermita de la Virgen del Pilar, is a small modern chapel located on the other side of the river.
Parish Church of San Juan Bautista, 19th century, in neoclassical style. It has three covered naves, the central one with a half barrel vault and the lateral ones with a groin vault. The four bodies of the tower, the two lower ones square and the upper ones octagonal, stand next to a facade whose simplicity makes it interesting.
Cave houses. The mining district of Libros began to take shape in the 18th century. A group of cave houses that until not long ago, 1956, was the place of residence of entire families, whose economy depended on the mining extraction of sulfur and the consumption of provisions that were bought from the producers of the area.
Hermitage of Las Minas. Located in the neighborhood of Las Minas de Azufre de Libros. It is a chapel excavated in the rock.
