Special trips in Villarta: The Church of the Dulce Nombre de Jesus (Sweet Name of Jesus) is a perfectly designed cruciform building. It has a doorway with a low lintel and straight cornice which faces south which has been filled in. There is also a door with a lintel which is protected by tiled eaves supported by columns up to the western gable end with a small ashlar bell tower with a triangular pediment. Inside the church there is a single nave with short arms. Smooth pilasters with crowns are linked by a superimposed double cyma cornice; and there is a barrel vault with transverse arches which do not protrude much.
