Ramales has well-preserved architecture, with some Indian mansions with beautiful gardens and gates. The Revillagigedo palace (18th century) stands out. However, its most valuable heritage is the group of caves located at the beginning of the century by Alcalde del Río: Covalanas, La Haza, Cullalvera and Sotarriza house magnificent cave paintings inside.
