Alto Tajo · 67 places
Alto Tajo’s heritage
Alto Tajo’s heritage belongs to rural mountain country: chapels in unexpected places, bridges over the Tagus and tributaries, inland saltworks once enriching the district, mountain mansions and abandoned villages. This list gathers everything recorded in the atlas.
Heritage here is scattered through the countryside: a chapel beneath a cliff, a stone bridge at a ford, saltworks evaporating brine, or an abandoned village telling emigration’s story.
