We are just casual passers-by in this beautiful village. We are impressed by this beautiful building into which your ancestors put a lot of energy and creative work, so that the tower is still standing after hundreds of years. The building is cracked from top to bottom in 2 places. So it will cost a lot of money and labor to repair this. But this legacy is so unique that it has to be done. With a little imagination one can imagine the scenes that have taken place here over the centuries. What a beautiful monument in a beautiful country that is Spain.

El castillo de Mazuelo es una de las fortalezas mejor conservadas de toda la provincia. Presenta una torre del homenaje de planta cuadrada que aparece rodeada por una cerca en la que destaca una barbacana con dos cubos. De finales del siglo XIV o comienzos del XV. Perteneció, entre otras familias, a los Carrillo, Rojas y Cerezo.

Church of St Donatus

The Church of St Donatus name refers to Donatus of Zadar, who began construction on this church in the 9th century and ended it on the northeastern part of the Roman forum. It is the largest Pre-Romanesque building in Croatia.

The beginning of the building of the church was placed to the second half of the 8th century, and it is supposed to have been completed in the 9th century. The Zadar bishop and diplomat Donat (8th and 9th centuries) is credited with the building of the church. He led the representations of the Dalmatian cities to Constantinople and Charles the Great, which is why this church bears slight resemblance to Charlemagne's court chapels, especially the one in Aachen, and also to the Basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna. It belongs to the Pre-Romanesque architectural period.

The circular church, formerly domed, is 27 m high and is characterised by simplicity and technical primitivism.
