It is a monumental town of great cultural wealth. In addition to a medieval bridge, it has the Palace of Sotofermoso (or of the Dukes of Alba). The highlights are its Mudejar patio and Renaissance gardens. It was an important cultural center in the Renaissance. Here writers of the stature of Lope de Vega wrote some of his best-known works.

The Convent of La Bien Parada, from the 17th century, also stands out. Although in ruins, it preserves remains in which you can appreciate the elegant proportions of the Austrian baroque style. Of the church of Santo Domingo, the solid stone walls and the large granite masses with which the bell tower was built are surprising.
In Abadía, in addition to the typical architecture of the plain town, we must highlight a natural environment of large pastures and hunting and fishing reserves.
Taking advantage of the Ambroz River, there is its Natural Pool, the largest in the region.
For a walk, the surroundings of the natural pool are ideal, you can even extend it along the Sendero de la Bien Parada
