Santa Cruz de los Cáñamos is a small town in Campo de Montiel (Ciudad Real), ideal for those seeking history, nature, and tranquility.
Its roots date back to the Middle Ages, with Roman and early Christian remains on the Torrejones hill (Monte Santo). The name comes from the historical cultivation of hemp, which was very important to the local economy.
Parish Church of San Bartolomé: Built in the 15th century with materials from the old castle. Its unique nave, coffered vault, and altarpiece of the Most Holy Christ of Inspiration are notable.
