Museum bringing together Flemish pieces from the 16th century, Baroque sculpture, archival manuscripts and archaeological finds from the municipality, housed in the parish church of Nuestra Señora de la Esperanza and its outbuildings. It was started in the early 1970s by a group of young people from the village interested in preserving the religious heritage, and officially reopened on 7 June 2003. Among its pieces are three monstrances, 18th-century chalices, a 15th-century Gothic sculpture in alabaster marble, several Baroque figures of Christ, including one in ivory, paintings from the 17th and 18th centuries, and a parish book titled Milagros de la Santa Cruz, dated between 1608 and 1742.
