The architecture offers countless wonderful examples of ornamental craftsmanship, such as traditional wooden barred doors and wrought iron doorknockers. A simple stroll round Totana also serves to highlight the convictions, beliefs and traditional religious feeling of its residents. These sentiments are best displayed in certain quiet streets, where the inhabitants have built vaulted niches on the outer walls of their homes. These form part of a lengthy tradition and although some have disappeared over time, whilst others have been relocated, there are many which have been preserved and can be visited.
