Anguciana
Highlight • Settlement
Since the 14th century it was the Lordship of the Salcedo family, who inhabited the Torre Fuerte, of which the south entrance and some loopholes are preserved.
In addition to the Torre Fuerte de los Salcedo (14th century), in the Gothic style, other places of interest in Anguciana are the church of San Martín, from the 16th century, renovated in the 17th century (two chapels in the first section, lower part of the tower, doorway and apse), the 18th century (chapel of the second section) and the 20th century (upper bodies of the tower) and the hermitages of Santa María de Oreca, from the 17th century and of La Esclavitud.

Castillo de los Velasco
Highlight • Castle
Built with ashlar masonry from the region, the castle stands out for its square-plan keep. In addition, the fortification took advantage of the river as a defense ditch.
Although you cannot visit its interior, it is worth contemplating it from the outside while walking along the banks of the Tirón River.

Santo Domingo de la Calzada Cathedral
Highlight • Religious Site
The animals are replaced every two weeks and allude to the legend of the hanged man. The myth tells that a pilgrim was hanged after being unjustly accused of theft. When his parents went to see the body they found their son alive and he told them that Santo Domingo de la Calzada had saved his life. The parents proclaimed that their son was alive, but the mayor of the city did not believe them and told them something like: "Your son is as alive as the roasted rooster and hen that I am eating." And suddenly, according to legend, the animals regained their feathers and came back to life.
