• Chapel “Oratorio de Alto Salvador” and Museum Aragón.
It was founded in the mid-nineteenth century by the Franciscan priest Fray Antonio Aragón, in the former village that hosted carriages and mules named “El alto de la Esperanza”.
The architectural ensemble consists of a closed chapel (Oratorio), an open chapel, whose gallery has a wooden pulpit from where the priest used to give his sermon to the devotees; an attached house and a bell house – Mangrullo. The complex expresses a successful integration into the agricultural surrounding landscape.
It has a lookout tower built in 1845 with wood, at that time used to watch from the top, at a great distance, the movements of the carriages. The farm is owned by the Arnal family, and is located in the district of Alto Salvador, 7 kilometres from the city of San Martín, in a northerly direction by Costa Canal Montecaseros (RP No. 43), taking the Cereceto Street up to Calle Oratorio. The chapel is on Calle Oratorio, 700 metres from De Cereceto.
It has been declared a National Historic Monument.
