Monuments
Abarán
The church of San Pablo, dedicated to the "Conversion of San Pablo", stands out for its neo-baroque altarpiece. This temple dates back to the 16th century and received its current layout in the 18th century. It has a basic structure of three naves with transept and dome, opening at the entrance to the temple into a sottocoro with a semicircular arch. It houses outstanding works such as a lying Christ and a Saint Peter by the sculptor José Planes. The current altarpiece is a replacement for a splendid 18th century one. The door of the tabernacle, attributed to Juan de Juanes, is also important. The sacristy houses the chasuble of Cardinal Belluga, which was exhibited in "Huellas": historical exhibition in the Cathedral of Murcia.

Cieza
Fue construído en el año 1887 en terrenos en parte cedidos por D. Diego Marín-Barnuevo, de ahí su original nombre de Paseo de Marín-Barnuevo. Tras su construcción, comenzó en torno a él a extenderse la población por la nueva zona del ensanche, proliferando edificios públicos y nuevas casas de la burguesía emergente debido al desarrollo de la industria espartera. Con el correr de los años ha sido objeto de numerosas remodelaciones, siendo la última la efectuada en el año 1986 y en la que el artista ciezano José Lucas realizó una magnífica exposición abierta, (30 columnas y 12 paneles cerámicos en homenaje a poetas y escritores, músicos y pintores de renombre). Una obra en la que lo visual y lo literario se funden en perfecta armonía con el entorno y el paisaje urbano.
