The Old Jail of Peñarroya de Tastavins

The jail or prison complex of Peñarroya de Tastavins is structured into three interconnected rooms. The first of these rooms was used as the jailer's dwelling, while the two remaining ones served as cells. The last of these cells has a narrow and tight access, reached through a passage carved into the rock. The entrance to this cell features a door with a conopial arch design on the intrados.

The first room communicates with the outside through a simple square window fitted with a sturdy iron bar grille. All three rooms are covered with ashlar masonry vaults, the floor is of bare earth, and the walls are built of rubble masonry. Inside the jail, some graffiti are preserved on the jambs and lintel of the doorway leading to the first cell. An iron ring is also preserved in the inner cell, which was probably used to chain prisoners.
