History

Sights include the Mudéjar church of Santa María, begun in the late 13th century and finished in the 14th century. It has an octagonal tower, a Baroque retable (16th century) and a Renaissance retable of the Coronation of Mary.

In November 2020, archaeologists headed by Javier Nunez Arce announced the discovery of 400 Islamic graves belong to Al-Andalus era. After this discovery it was clear that Muslim community used to live here and they had a Mosque. Archaeologist Arce  mentioned Tauste as an important settlement for Muslims and added that "we can see that the Muslim culture and the Islamic presence in this region are more significant than we think."[2]
