House of Studies

Highlight • Historical Site

It was a junior college where Pedro Simón de Abril, translator of the classics who consolidated Castilian as a literary and scientific language, and Bartolomé Jiménez Patón, an important grammarian, Master of Humanities and Rhetoric, and friend of Francisco de Quevedo and Lope de Vega, taught.

Its courtyard is one of the most beautiful in Villanueva de los Infantes, with its ribbed vaults and ochre-colored wooden balustrade.

Church of San Andrés

Highlight • Religious Site

The Church of San Andrés, Mannerist, was built in the 16th century, on the old hermitage of La Moraleja.

Very interesting are its three covers, two plateresque and the main classicist. This is framed by a deep semicircular arch, it has double Doric columns on a plinth that support an entablature that in turn serves as the base for a temple with Ionic columns and a split pediment with the Habsburg coat of arms and the figure of Saint Andrew with the barbed cross. It is dated 1612.

Rueda House

Highlight • Historical Site

This manor house was once owned by the Bustos family. It is an emblematic 19th-century building with a historicist façade and magnificent wrought-iron balconies. Inside, it preserves a typical Castilian courtyard with Ionic columns, a trefoil frieze, and coffered ceilings in the galleries and entrance hall.

The courtyard of the Casa de Rueda houses the world's first scientific museum dedicated to "the place in La Mancha" mentioned by Cervantes as the starting point for Don Quixote's adventures. It displays the sixteen verifiable facts that form the core of the university study that, in 2005, determined that Villanueva de los Infantes is indeed that "place in La Mancha." The research was conducted by a multidisciplinary scientific team from the Complutense University of Madrid, comprised of ten experts in Geography, History, Philology, Sociology, Mathematics, and Information Science, led by Professors of Sociology Francisco Parra Luna and International Relations Santiago Petschen, and the literary scholar Manuel Fernández Nieto.

It also houses the Villanueva de los Infantes Interpretation Centre, the city's History and Archaeology Museum.

Opening hours: Monday to Friday, 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Saturday and Sunday, 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Admission: Free
