The church of Santa María de Tobed is a fortress-Gothic-Mudejar church built between 1356 and 1385. Erected by the Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Calatayud, it is a prototype of a church fortress, a concept unique in Spain at the time. On the outside, it is designed for defence, with a peripheral gallery and a defence radius. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with 6 other Aragonese monuments.
The Collegiate Church of Santa María la Mayor was built from 1120 on a former mosque. The current temple dates from the early 17th century. The tower is one of the main examples of the Aragonese Mudejar style. It has an octagonal plan and buttresses on the edges. The slate spire dates from about 1770 and the bell bodies date from the 17th and 15th centuries.
Santa Tecla de Cervera de la Cañada is a Mudejar Gothic style church built between the 14th and 17th centuries. It is a clear example of a fortified church that has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its Mudéjar architecture typical of Aragon.
The Church of Santa María la Mayor was built in the 16th century and renovated in the 18th century. The nave and the last three parts of the church seem to date from this period, modeled on the earlier style. The church has a rectangular ground plan, three aisles and a straight head to the east, in keeping with the style of the so-called "hall churches".
