The Hermitage or Sanctuary of the Holy Christ of Villajos is one of the most emblematic places in Campo de Criptana (Ciudad Real).
It originated from the old village of Villajos, which was abandoned in the 14th century. The original church was dedicated to Our Lady of Villajos.

The hermitage is located 4 km from Campo de Criptana. The Sanctuary keeps the image of the patron saint of Campo de Criptana, the Christ of Villajos. Next to the hermitage is the Pozo de la Nieve, which was once used to store and preserve ice for distribution and sale.
