Cerro de los Santos, Ancient religious sanctuary near Montealegre del Castillo, Spain
The archaeological site contains remnants of a temple measuring 15.6 by 9.9 meters with a wide doorway accessed through two flights of stone steps.
Built during the 4th century BCE, this Iberian sanctuary remained active through the Roman period and served as a place for votive offerings along Via Heraclea.
The site houses a collection of 300 stone sculptures, predominantly depicting women in ceremonial garments, representing donors seeking divine protection through their carved likenesses.
The location features a commemorative obelisk from 1929 and stands near another significant Iberian archaeological site, Llano de la Consolación.
The temple walls incorporated an advanced construction technique using double courses of square blocks joined together with lead clamps for increased structural stability.
