In addition to these interesting attractions, we suggest a visit to the walls to contemplate the extraordinary panorama obtained from them.

• Church of James the Apostle: Built on an ancient hermitage in the 16th century with influences of the last Levine Gothic. It is a single ship divided by four arches, covered by a pair of armor in a row of Mudejar tradition, sustained by a half-point diaphragm arches. It reproduces the scheme of the early churches of the final Gothic, with Baroque altards and a wide wooden choir with curious craftsmen and a banner. The major Retail is from the 18th century and is the most valuable artistic element of the temple. On the outside stands the square-floor tower, which in 1763 was necessary to rebuild.

• Urban helmets of Santiago, Pontón Alto and Pontón Bajo. The urban helmets of these nuclei are made up of streets that remember the morphology of medieval urbanism, in which regular and geometric planning is not followed, but is built according to needs. This gives rise to narrow and irregular streets with typical serrana houses: stone facades, farmed and encased, with small gaps, outstanding tiles to fire water and snow and thin chimneys.

• Church of Our Lady of the Rosary. Located in Pontones, it has been built in the late 19th century. It is small, with a single rectangular ship and a simple facade with a stone cover, in harmony with the type of architecture surrounding it.

• The Brush: Old inn of the 16th century. You can see a wooden balconade, a sample of the vernacular architecture, whose zapatas and balastres are well protected by the wide aldero of the roof.

• Miller's Fort House, topped with thin aspilleras from the 13th to the 16th centuries, which could be a defensive bastion in front of the Alphavars and which was rehabilitated in the 19th century, during the Carlist wars.

It also has five declared property of Cultural Interest: The Castles of Matea and Gorgollitas, the coats ofCold River, No. Cañada de la Cruz y del Engarbothe latter, in addition World Heritage.

• St. Helena Parish Church: It was erected in 1793 on an ancient medieval hermitage, which had been raised to commemorate the Christian victory in the battle of the Navas de Tolosa, which had these sites on stage and to guard the Cross to which the miracle was attributed. Built of redesigned and painted masonry, with a simple facade, of small dimensions. A staircase stands out the access door, composed of a half-point arch on imposts, flanked by Tuscan pillars that give way to an inlet finished with triangular fronton and two bones, one on each side. On the top of the first body, the pyramidal structure is raised to three levels, with pinacles at the ends and half-point holes for bells. Inside it is a single drawer ship, covered with a half-canyon vault and double lunetes on the sides. The presbyterium is opened with a spinal arch, covered with an arista vault and illuminated with two large bone-shaped windows. The header is presided over by the image of its patron saint, St. Helena, between dogrous columns that support an injunction and a curved fronton. It was remodeled in 2001.

• Iberian Shrine of the Collado de los Jardines: It is located in the heart of Sierra Morena Oriental, on the most important traditional road of communication between Alta Andalucía and the Plateau. For the Iberian shrines they chose places, usually caves, located next to springs and forests, where it was thought that the divinity lived and where the faithful went to worship, pray and deliver offerings to their divinities. These offerings were what we know as "exvotes," small statues, between eight and twenty cm, made of bronze, stone or mud. In Iberian Shrine of the Collado de los Jardines There have been many exvotes, most of them bronze, representing men and women offering, priests, warriors and objects. It is part of the whole town that was excavated on the hill adjacent to the castle, where a wall, a sacred enclosure and a cast of metal exvotes have appeared. We meet before one of the three great Iberian shrines of the peninsula.

• St. Helena's Urban Helmets:Given its geographical location, a forced passage between the plateau and Andalusia, has experienced many historical events. The Battle of the Navas de Tolosa in 1212 in which King Alfonso VIII of Castile defeated the Almohades. To commemorate this battle, a hermitage was erected in honor of the Empress St. Helena, who would later name this place and the new population, which King Charles III founded in 1767. In the colonizing urbanism of Sierra Morena, the most important element is the large rectangular square, from which they leave streets on each side and where are the important buildings, such as the Church, the City Hall and the posite of Diezmos and Labradores. The rest of the town is organized from the Plaza. The streets are dominated by axial perspectives, houses of the same height and proportions, reticular fabric and geometric structure. It only deviates from the neoclassical model on its perimeter, to adapt to the road. It has been declared Good for Cultural Interest.

• Rupestrian Paints: The province of Jaén has more than forty points with rock paintings, declared World Heritage Sitewithin the whole Mediterranean arc. Some of them are found in St. Helena with exceptional testimonies of schematic and seminaturalist paintings, located in coats of the area, including those of the Cave of the Cows of the Retamoso in the area of the bodies, Cave of the Holy, the Cave of the Schools and some more.

• Mining Heritage. The landscape of ancient mines and Mediterranean mountains of the former Minero District extends to eight municipalities: Linares, La Carolina, Bailén, Baños de la Encina, Vilches, Guarroman, Santa Elena and Carboneros. This mining activity has left in these municipalities an exceptional concentration of remains, unique vestiges in the world and representative of the industrial revolution in the 19th century.
