Medieval History
During the Middle Ages, Sesa was home to an important castle. Castles were very important back then for protecting towns and their people. While the castle may no longer stand as it once did, its history is still a part of Sesa's story.
Important Buildings
Sesa has two very old religious buildings that are still standing today.
San Juan Bautista Church
The Church of San Juan Bautista is a beautiful church in Sesa. It was built a very long time ago, in the 12th century. This means it is over 800 years old!
