Ermita del Salvador del Mundo (Calzada Cva)

Highlight • Religious Site

The hermitage of El Salvador del Mundo is from the 16th century, although it underwent a reconstruction from the year 1760 conserving the same Latin cross plan. Its interior consists of a single nave and transept open by a dome.

The very venerable image of the Savior of the World, patron saint of the town, is preserved inside.

Located outside the walls on the road to Granátula and Almagro, it was possibly built during the first decades of the 16th century, since the general visitors on their visit to the town in 1549 ordered that a door with a lock be built at the entrance of the the hermitage within four months, as well as a walled chapel. Burned down around the year 1657, it remained with the same structure, making minimal repairs to the roof and whitewashing with lime.

Hervideros Baños del Barranco

Highlight • Natural Monument

The so-called “hotbeds” are one of the most common phenomena in the Calatrava region, as a consequence of its intense volcanic activity. A unique spectacle that, together with sour springs, maares, wells, and jets or sinas, are part of the history of the region and that the Association for the Development of Campo de Calatrava tries to preserve and make known outside its borders.

Virgen de los Santos

Highlight • Religious Site

Located on a pointed hill, is the white and luminous sanctuary of the patron saint.
In the enclosure next to the hermitage there is a conglomerate of small and traditional buildings: the santero's house, premises for the use of the brotherhood, and houses and rooms that can be rented to individuals for meals or celebrations.

Calzada de Calatrava

Highlight • Settlement

Walking through its streets we will discover the town where Pedro Almodóvar spent his childhood. Just behind the park that bears his name is the old factory of the well-known Glue Imedio which, curiously, is also related to the cinema. In the 1930s, Gregorio Imedio ran the Cine Imedio, as celluloid usually broke due to use, Gregorio repaired the rolls at his parents' drugstore and that's how he discovered Imedio glue.
The current theater is located in what was the old summer cinema, where from the wall of his aunt's house, Almodóvar watched the first films of his childhood.
From a geological point of view, Calzada de Calatrava has numerous volcanic outcrops.
