It is a hipogee that consists of three caves excavated in the rock, of which the major has a monumental facade simulating a porch in the form of blind arches, with horseshoe arches and eardrums decorated with palmetas of classical tradition, all carved in the slope of the ground. Inside there is a three-ship chapel with canyon vaults on square pilasters. The other two caves, of simpler resolution, had to serve one as the residence of the monks who lived in the oratory, and the other possibly as Baptistery.

It was declared Good of Cultural Interest in 1970.

Another place of worship or visible cenobium existing in the municipal term Rus, 12 km from the village, is the recently located "Cueva de la Veguilla."

The South Sierra de Jaén, which obtained the Starligth Reserve certificate in 2014, retains the natural lighting and nocturnal conditions of the night sky intact. It is also a space where a commitment has been made to the defence of the quality of the night sky, access to the light of the stars and the different associated values.

The main building, about 70 square meters, houses the multi-purpose room and library, observatory control room, small kitchen, toilet and archive.

To the north of the main building and completely independent, is the observatory itself. The lower floor serves as a storage room for the various instrumentation and accessories of the telescopes and has a small workshop for the repairs.

The 4-meter-in-diameter Scope Dome dome, installed on the top, has a Meade S / C LX200-ACF GPS telescope of 0.30 meters of opening at f / 10, in an equatorial fork mount, supported by an independent rigid column.

The whole of the Andalusian Observatory of Astronomy: Dome, telescope as well as its battery of accessories and instrumentation can be operated remotely from anywhere.

On the terrace of the control room there is a weather station specially designed for use in an astronomical observatory and an AllSky automatic camera for meteor detection.

In this necropolis was buried in the 5th century BC the most important impressive sculptural ensemble of all Iberian culture and that can now be seen in the Museum of Jaén.

In the archaeological site and in its Visitors Center you will find the keys to understanding this sculptural group and the meaning of death in the Iberian world. Cerrillo Blanco is a funerary tumulum of the Tartesic era (7th century BC) with 24 individual graves in pits and 1 megalytic in which two individuals were buried. Towards the 5th century BC, it was buried in ditches covered with large slabs, an Iberian sculptural set intentionally destroyed. Both by the amount of pieces (approximately 1400 fragments) and by their artistic quality is the most important of Iberian sculpture. This set tells us and tells us the story of how a group of aristocrats became powerful and came to rule the important city of Obulco in Porcra.

The visit to the site is complete with the Porcra Museum which is located in the 15th century Boabdil Tower, in the historic center of the town. This museum has an important collection of Ibero-Roman sculptures. The museum offers guided tours with prior appointment and activity programming throughout the year that you can find on your website:www.museoatocuna.com

According to the research, it is a necropolis whose extension would surround the entire town, making it one of the most important at the national level.

In 1954, the first archaeological excavation was carried out, 22 tombs of which only 7 remained intact. The inspected tombs had an ovoid and excessively elongated form, not keeping a certain orientation.

Next to this visigoda necropolis - just 30 metres - is another Muslim era.

Location:To the west of the town, in the foothills of the mountain set of the South Sierra.
Distance:7 km.

Medium:Tourism vehicle.

Access route:Taking the road leading to the Hoya del Salobral.

From the Nava del Espino there are roads that lead you to the highest peaks of the Sierra de Cazorla, among which are the Poyos de la Mesa. It is a very recommended route by the views on the Guadalquivir that from this plancie you can reach.

If you stop your way in this place you can enjoy the landscape and if you are at the right time it will be easy to see some go feeding on their meadows.

About 2 km from the Navy following the track you brought, and on the left there is a recreational area next to the Fountain of the Garganta. An ideal place to rest and restore strength.

In Cazorla take the Sierra road (A-319) until the crossing known as the Empalme del Valle. Turn right on the JF-7092 road and after passing the bridge over the Guadalquivir River (4 km from the Empalme) follow the left track (JF-7091). In the km 21 of the road signs is the Nava del Espino.

The birth of the Segura River is a penetrable siphon, with an explored length of 354 meters and a 17 meters gap. The exploration of this cavity was carried out by spelebuchers of the Madrid Standard Group during the 1979 and 1980 years, carrying out an important work of disobstruction within the siphon. (G.E. STANDARD, 1980) The emergence is located at the bottom of a blind valley in the foothills of the Sierra de Segura near the population of Pontones. It is a flooded gallery where three air bubbles are located at about 100, 160 and 255 m from the mouth.

Natural area of great beauty of water and tiled wires that invite to relax, turned into a recreational area, magnificent enclave to spend a pleasant day of countryside surrounded by nature, enjoy the environment, rest under the dense tree grove or take some hiking route. The space has a magnificent road with banks, tables, stationery, a small bar, children's playground and a large parking lot. This area attracts thousands of visitors from many municipalities, some very far away.

From the same pozas of the Nacimiento, a channel known by the neighbors by "el Caz," that allows to water the orchards of the river along several kilometres, and that rejoins the river in the village, next to the Roman bridge of Triana, where the permits for the fishing stop "El Carrizal," whose upper section is the same Birth of the San Juan River, were issued. The nearest pool to the river was used for the release of trout and fishing for both people with reduced mobility and children, learning the values and techniques needed to manage themselves within this sport and get their own catches (there is a children's fishing school in the town in the summer, taking advantage of school holidays).

The fishing ground was about 4 km. where roads have been enabled, making many parts of the banks practicable and facilitating the formation of pokes, where fish can find better shelter and more water.

Fishing could also be practiced in the Valdepeñas Bridge, where one of the most remarkable pozas of the fishing ground is formed, both by the number of trout and by the quality of the trout. The environment of Nacimiento del Río San Juan is characterized by a typical Mediterranean landscape, with the oak and the coscoja as protagonists. Other plants present are the lentif, the white jara, the thyme and the rosemary, but, without a doubt, the white lamo is the most abundant species in the Birth and on the river bank. In this we can see fertile gardens that make up the "Vega castillera," which acquires its maximum splendor in spring with the flowering of the cherry trees, very abundant in the area, irrigated from the very pods of the birth by "the Caz" mentioned above.

This area, owned by the City Council, houses a multitude of outdoor physical activities.
