Tourism is an important part of the economy, and there are a number of monuments that draw visitors. The Roman structure, Turris Sillae, was used in defense of the town long after the Romans left the area. The first palace was built in the town in 1325, but it later became the Convent of Saint Clara in 1364 when Pedro the Cruel gave it to two of his daughters. The international importance of the town was established with the signing of the Treaty of Tordesillas in 1494. Plaza Major is the main square in town, and nearby is the church of Santa Maria with its baroque sacristy.
