Iglesia del Carmen
Carmen Church

The 16th-century Church originally belonged to the convent of the Barefoot Carmelite Fathers. However, the remains from that time are negligible due to the extensive renovation carried out in the 18th century, and the reconstruction works between 1881 and 1883 that gave it a neoclassical feel. 

Iglesia de Nuestra Señora del Carmen
Nuestra Señora del Carmen Church

The Nuestra Señora del Carmen Church was founded in the 18th century on the site of 16th-century Shrine to Cristo de la Sangre. A few Gothic-Mudejar elements from the Shrine still can be seen. 

The Marquises of Estepa used the temple’s crypt as their pantheon for many centuries.

Iglesia de Santa María
Santa Maria Church

The 18th-century temple was built on an old Mudejar temple from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, destroyed by the Lisbon earthquake. The project was completed, among others, by José Álvarez, a neoclassical architect who gave the church its current appearance and style.

It has a single altarpiece in the apse, decorated with baroque motifs that have been restored.

Monumento a Cervantes y las Dos Doncellas
Monument to Cervantes and the Two Maidens

It commemorates the time when Miguel de Cervantes stayed in Castiblanco on his way to Extremadura to work as a royal tax collector. He spent the night in the town and named Castilblanco at the beginning of his novel The Two Maidens, placing its name on the map.
