Attractions and Places To See around Villanueva De San Carlos - Top 20

This castle stands on the impressive Alacranejo hill and, despite its original defensive character, it underwent various modifications. Opposite it there is another hill with the ruins of the Salvatierra Castle, in the lands of Calzada de Calatrava. It probably has Arab origins, but it was deeply remodeled with the transfer of the knights of the Order from the Castle of Calatrava La Vieja (Carrión de Calatrava) in 1217, after the battle of Las Navas de Tolosa with the aim of consolidating the defensive line of Sierra Morena. In turn, it is made up of three walled enclosures and is accessed by the original road that was built on the occasion of the visit of Philip II through the Iron Gate, in red volcanic stone. Afterwards, we can find the Gate of the Arches, which allows entry into the parlatorio or courtyard of the convent, the courtyards, the church, the rooms and the refectory. Really, when you walk through it, you can imagine what happened in

This church, which dates back to the 17th century, preserves the typical structure of the area, maintaining an exterior uniformity that coincides with the majority of religious temples. It is worth visiting.

Impressive castle and church which is located on top of a hill and which can also be seen from afar. The views of both the castle and the panorama it offers are brutal!

Silo decorated with modern paintings, to give it originality. It is a huge construction from the beginning of the 20th century intended to store the grain (wheat or barley) from the harvest.

The parish is from the early seventeenth century. It preserves the original transept from its foundation, the rest is an extension from the year 1926. During the work on the tower of the Parish Church in 1668, materials from it were used for the repair and construction of the hermitage. During the visit in 1728, the rosary was ordered to be prayed in the hermitage of Ntra. Sra. de los Remedios as was customary. During the first half of the 18th century, there were many alms given in wills for repairs to the hermitage. In June 1740, the Archbishopric was declared in ruinous state, supported by the devout neighbors and their brotherhood, proceeding to the construction of the transept, dressing room and sacristy, finishing in the year 1764. In August 1748 Doña María de la Concepción Ruiz de la Cadena y Ramírez, sent to Ntra. Mrs. de los Remedios and Mrs. Santa Bárbara fifteen hundred reales of fleece for the work and factory that was trying to be done in her hermitage. Once its reconstruction was completed, the image of Nuestro Padre Jesús de Nazareno, confirmed in a will of the year 1827, was transferred to said hermitage.

A project curated by Okuda San Miguel that has a wide selection of renowned international artists to turn the silos of the region into enormous works of art. "For Legends from La Mancha I have been inspired by characters from Almodovar's films and by legends and stories from the region's past, such as Don Quixote or the Knights Templar. Past and present under my geometric and surreal filter."
