Next to the castle you will find the ruins of the Church of Sto. Silos Sunday. The legend tells that it was built on the place where the Arabs held captive Christians in prison and there was Santo Domingo doing his job. In the building there are traces of the disciples of Vandelvira. It's a must-see for any lover of history.

The Iruela was part of Cazorla until 1370, when Archbishop D. Gome Manrique gave it independence, power and shield. His political and territorial position has allowed him to preserve an important heritage: the Conistory House - a proud building in the Mudejar style of Toledan - and the Church of the Immaculate Conception are part of this legacy.

The population has a core worth visiting. The streets are steep and narrow, with crouched houses and flowers on the balconies. In the center there is a beautiful fountain from which several roads arise to surround the village. From here you can go up to Temple Street on a beautiful stone road accompanied by fig trees and cypresses.

We suggest:

• About five minutes from La Iruela you will find Burunchel. Come to know the Hermitage of San Julián and the temple of the Holy Spirit among other attractions of this pedany.

• On August 27, during the summer parties of the village you will see a curious pyrotechnic show, in which the castle is also the protagonist.

Most of these buildings are based as a second residence during the High Empire, although with the crisis of the third century and the insecurity of the cities many great aristocrats withdraw to their villages. As the residence becomes, the luxury and refinement of which the rich mosaics and the beginning of the walls of the different rooms are preserved as a testimony. Next to the Palaciega area there were other units with stables, with forges, alfares and, ultimately, everything necessary to be self-sufficient away from the city. Over time, the cities lost their importance, had to wafer to avoid dangers and the cultural spotlights that had gone out.

If we know nothing about the inhabitants of these luxurious rooms, we know less about those people who left the city to take refuge in these villas. They helped defend property in exchange for being able to cultivate a piece of land with which to get what is necessary to feed. Here is the origin of what would be the vasalage in the Middle Ages. Nor do we know how the craftsmen made these great mosaics, nor their living conditions, would they know that they represented the images they reproduced with the tesels? and the last inhabitants at the end of the fourth century?
