The Monteagud Sanctuary is dedicated to the Virgen de la Cabeza, a symbol of the Sierra de los Filabres and the spiritual backbone of the entire region. The sanctuary is a religious and recreational space with spectacular views of the sea, desert and mountains.

The church was built on the site of the former mosque, dating from the sixteenth century. The choir is impressive, created with great originality, and the interior is divided into the main altar (dedicated to the Virgen de las Angustias) and the two side chapels (one in honor of Jesús Nazareno and the other of the Virgen de la Soledad).

The town square has always been a meeting place for a ball game or conversations. A plaque has stood in the centre giving the square its name since 1881.

The Tourist Office is located in the Town Hall of Benizalón, opening from Monday to Friday.

The Festivals in Benizalón are Cabalgata de Reyes Magos, San Antón, Día de Andalucía, Semana Santa, Romería de la Virgen de la Cabeza, San Juan and Día de las Mozas.

Benizalón has an Arab past which is evident in its centre, with narrow and cobbled streets flanked by whitewashed houses. It has about 250 inhabitants. The first reliable data on the occupation of the area dates from the Moorish era. After the expulsion of the Moors from the Kingdom of Granada in the sixteenth century, the town became part of the State of Tahalá.
