Alamazara y chimenea de D. Periquito: Dates from the 19th Century. The exterior is still in good condition, although the interior is falling apart.. The monument boasts a chimeney, a vestige of the old alchohol distillery, which was active in the 19th Century due to the great production of grapes at the time in Zújar. The factory was closed at the end of the 19th Century due to a plague of Phylloxera which devestated the local cultivation of vines.

Iglesia de la Anunciación: The first structure dates from the 16th Century and was built on the ruins of the mosque. The present building, from the 18th Century, is neoclassical in style with various elements of imitation barroque, such as the exterior and the decoration of the chapel ceilings. The interior consists of a single rectangular nave finished off with a domed ceiling in whose wing, on the Plaza Mayor side, a bell tower was erected. From this period there are also several paintings by unknown artists, most donated to the church by D. Nicolás Heredia Barrionuevo, Abbot of the Abbey of the Sacromonte in Granada.

Los Molinos (Mills): Scattered about the plains surrounding Zújar, there are a series of old mills which take advantage of the water pressure from the springs to power their flour milling. Together with the mills some wonderful cottages survive, in particular el Molino de la Fuente Grande, el Molino de las Viñas, and el Molino Toral.
