The unique urban style of Nuevo Baztán maintains the original Baroque model from the beginning of the 18th century, designed by José de Churriguera by order of Juan de Goyeneche, who had permission from Charles II to build glass, paper and textile factories on Spanish territory. The Navarrese businessman was originally from Arizkun, in the Baztán Valley, but spent time in Madrid because he had other properties and professional relations with the Court. He chose the site of Madrid's Alcarria to found an industrial and rural centre in honour of his homeland and commissioned the Madrid architect to build a glass factory, a farming village of half a thousand inhabitants, a palace, a monumental church and gardens with centuries-old pines and elms. The town preserves cobbled streets, stone squares, rural buildings from the time of its foundation, between 1709 and 1713, and palace gardens, a beautiful heritage complex declared a Historic-Artistic Monument in 1941 and a Site of Cultural Interest in 2000.

Morata is a village of orchards and plains on the railway line of the old Tren de Arganda, a 19th century project to run a railway from Madrid to the Aragón line through the valleys of the Tajuña and Tajo rivers. Work began in 1886 and in 1921 the last section was inaugurated, between Sacedón and Alocén, in Guadalajara. In the Plaza Mayor is the Casa Consistorial, the seat of the Town Hall and a unique building, an interesting example of 19th century civil architecture in limestone ashlars and elaborate wrought iron work on the first floor balcony. The main historical and artistic monument of Morata is the 17th century church of Nuestra Señora de la Concepción, with a superb stone bell tower. Popular culture and part of the local history are condensed in the Ethnographic Museum, the Museum of the Civil War and Postwar and the Museum of Milling, on the banks of the Tajuña river.
