The Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Head is one of Torrenueva's most emblematic religious and historical sites, located north of the town center and surrounded by a traditional landscape of vineyards, olive groves, and pine forests. She is the patron saint of Torrenueva, and her veneration forms the basis of the main local festivities throughout the year.

Practically opposite the bullring.

In Torrenueva, the square where the Town Hall is located is known as Plaza de España, and it serves as the administrative, social, and urban center of the municipality. The Town Hall itself is located at number 1 on this square. The square is situated a few meters from the Parish Church of Santiago el Mayor, the town's most iconic landmark.

The Hermitage of San Antón is one of the historic hermitages of Torrenueva, linked for centuries to the devotion to Saint Anthony, patron saint of animals. Originally, it was dedicated to Saint Sebastian, at least until approximately 1740. A Confraternity of Saint Sebastian already existed in 1575, demonstrating its antiquity. From 1740 onwards, devotion to Saint Sebastian declined while devotion to Saint Anthony grew, probably due to the local tradition of "running the animals to the hermitage" on his feast day.

Plaza de España and the Parish Church of Santiago el Mayor: the historical and monumental heart of Torrenueva (Ciudad Real). The Church of Santiago el Mayor is the most prominent monument in Torrenueva and one of the architectural gems of the Campo de Montiel region. It is located in Plaza de España, the town's urban and social center. Its construction began around 1450 and was completed around 1550. It belongs to the Isabelline Gothic style, although it also features Renaissance elements in its ornamentation.

Churros and porras are very popular. Tapas, breakfasts, larger portions, and quality coffee. Very good beer and a pleasant atmosphere.

The history of this small town seems to date back to the Iron Age. Its strategic location made it a crossroads for many peoples and expeditions. If you're traveling in the area, I recommend paying it a visit and enjoying its church, the town square, and the hill, where the remains of an old Celtiberian iron mine are preserved.

The Marqués de Santa Cruz Municipal Park is a green space much loved by residents and visitors, ideal for strolling and relaxing. Grass areas with picnic tables. A striking wooden bridge crosses a central lake. Children's play areas and outdoor exercise equipment.
