Despite its steep and difficult access, Gollorio Waterfall is a popular spot for hikers. The trail leading to it offers spectacular views and is part of the Gollorio Waterfall Route. In long sections, the trail runs close to the ravine without any lateral protection, so caution is advised.

This majestic Cathedral, origin and foundation of the greatness of Sigüenza, is a living museum of art: Romanesque, Cistercian, Gothic, Renaissance, Plateresque, Baroque, Neoclassical... Inside, the sepulcher and Chapel of his Maiden stand out, a beautiful semi-recumbent alabaster sculpture. Work on this cathedral began in the 12th century, in the year 1124, at the request of the first bishop and lord of Sigüenza, after the Reconquest, D. Bernardo de Agén. The works continued through the Late Middle Ages, the building being completed in the 15th century and, then proceeding to the erection of other dependencies (sacristies, ambulatory, etc.) and all the ornamentation, altars, etc.
