What to see in Blanca
Blanca Castle
This building, of Muslim origin, was built between the 11th and 12th centuries (1180 and 1210) and is located 223 meters above sea level, as a strategic point of surveillance and defence, nestled on a high hill in the Sierra del Oro.
In the distance, you can see the remains of three hollow towers, with a rectangular plan of uneven layout and an extension from one end to the other of 17.55 meters. The high sides and the one in the small centre, which served as support and reinforcement, were built with large adobes cemented together and with clay.

Light and Water Museum
This is located inside a building constructed in the 20th century (1990) that, at first, was the Hydraulic Power Plant of the Municipality of Blanca.
Later, it was restored and became a museum dedicated to educating about the process of using water and its history within the framework of the connection between different cultures and civilizations.
After its restoration, it still maintains its main square block structure covered with a hipped roof.

Saint John the Evangelist Church
Built in the 16th century (1508) on an old mosque, this was rebuilt in the late 17th and early 18th centuries by two stonemason brothers, Antonio and Lucas de Lastra.
It was the first Christian temple dedicated to the invocation of Saint John.
Of patent baroque style, and with a Latin cross plan, it is made up of three naves and a handkerchief-type dome over the transept. In the dressing room is a carving of the patron saint, made by Tomás Paredes in 1942.
