This town is located in the southern part of the province. It reached the height of splendor at the end of the 15th century, and enjoyed the favor of the Crown in the 16th century. This royal preference allowed for the residence of noble landowners and attracted various religious orders in search of land to build their churches and convents. A walk through the streets of San Clemente provides an opportunity to get to know an authentic Renaissance village, whose fundamental elements have been preserved. Convents, public buildings (that of the Notary Public), noble houses, the Old Tower, the Roman Arch—these are all essential parts of the urban landscape.
On Sunday and Monday of Pentecost, the Rus festival is celebrated, which has been declared of Regional Tourist Interest.
