Calderico Hill rises from the plains of La Mancha, visible for miles around and giving Consuegra (Toledo) its distinctive character. Its most notable heritage features are the castle and the windmills that line its summit, following its longitudinal profile. The views of the windmills and castle are truly worth seeing.

They are located on Calderico Hill, where we can also visit the castle. Of the thirteen original mills, 12 have been restored. The Sancho mill was the first to be restored, using the methods and materials typical of the period. It still preserves original, highly antique pieces, and due to the way it was restored, it was the first to be declared a BIC (Central Heritage Site). The entire complex subsequently enjoyed the same heritage status. Others that also preserve their complete machinery are the Sancho, Rucio, Bolero, and Espartero mills.

A work of military architecture that the Knights of the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem built after Alfonso VIII ceded the old fortifications and the district of Consuegra to the Order. The castle underwent transformations, renovations, and restorations, and its uses adapted to the needs and sociopolitical changes of the time. It enjoyed its splendor during the 13th and 15th centuries, and although it remained inhabited, it suffered a gradual but inexorable process of abandonment until its final decline with the confiscation of church property by Mendizábal in the 19th century. Finally, thanks to the will and perseverance of the inhabitants of Consuegra, the castle was gradually restored to return it to its former splendor. It can be visited Monday through Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and from 4:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
