Edificio Los Torreones

This grandiose building was constructed over the dilapidated Civil Guard Barracks House. The land was purchased by Don Fructuoso in order to build his residence, completed and inhabited in 1931. Its architect was from Madrid and the master builder of the entire project was Don Antonio Zamora López. The carpentry was carried out by ship owner Antonio García Prieto (Tirso). The palace of Fructuoso Rodríguez Carrasco and Sara Palazón Yerba was inaugurated in 1932. Don Fructuoso had been Mayor of this town on several occasions in the early years of the twentieth century and became a Deputy and even Governor of Cuenca. Upon the death of Doña Sara on December 24, 1956, twenty years after her husband, the couple bequeathed all their properties to the poorest people in the town. In order to facilitate this charitable mission, the building became the home of the Santa Sara and San Fructuoso Asylum Institution, where nuns from the Comunidad de Religiosas Formacionistas Esclavas de María took care of girls and elderly women. The nuns lived in the building until they ceased their activity at the end of the 1960s, and in the mid-1990s, a nursery was built on the grounds, a modern building designed by the architect Juan Carlos Ramiro Rivas. Currently owned by the Town Hall, the building houses the municipal library, the nursery, and the Guadalinfo centre. Located on Calle del Santo.
