The Venta del Toro, located at the foot of the Chamizo peak, on the old Royal Road between Malaga and Granada, dates back to the 13th century, although its current structure originated in the 17th century. It was a rest stop for travellers, including prisoners transferred to the Royal Chancery. It is the oldest still standing in Andalusia and has witnessed the presence of historical figures such as kings, politicians and bandits.

Inside, there is a dungeon where the bandit Luis Candelas spent the night and a room where prisoners were held. A shackle from the period is also preserved. The inn was the scene of several robberies, including one by a bandit gang in 1850. Today it houses a restaurant and the Museum of Andalusian Banditry, and was formerly a cultural centre with exhibitions and various activities.

The central nave is covered by a Gothic-Mudejar style framework of pair and knuckle trusses. The wooden door gives access to an 18th century gate, which was saved from burning during the Civil War.

The three-storey tower houses a bell tower with six bays. The main altar has two chapels that house the images of Jesús Nazareno and the Virgen de los Dolores. The central nave is covered with a Gothic-Mudejar framework.
