The Muela Castle: A millennial fortress that dominates the landscape and was the scene of important historical episodes, such as the Battle of Consuegra in 1097. Location: It stands on the Calderico Hill in the town of Consuegra, Toledo, next to its famous windmills. Origin: Its initial construction dates back to the 10th century (Caliphate period), ordered to be built by Almanzor. Evolution: It was later expanded and modified by the knights of the Order of Saint John.

It is located in Plaza de España. The museum is housed in the emblematic 17th-century building known as "Los Corredores," renowned for its wooden balcony and traditional La Mancha-style arcades. It formerly served as the courthouse, theater, and municipal administration building before becoming a museum in 1985.

Tradition tells that in 1688, two pilgrims, Juan Bautista and Manuel Terrín, stayed at a local farmhouse and, in gratitude, painted an image of the crucified Christ using colors mixed with saliva. When he asked for oil to light the image, the owner miraculously found enough oil to last 24 hours, despite claiming to have none. This event was considered miraculous and prompted the construction of the hermitage at the initiative of Francisco Rodríguez Palmero, who donated the land to the Order of Saint John.

The Hermitage of the Most Holy Christ of the Valley is located about 15 km from Tembleque, in the province of Toledo, near the Algodor River. It is a place of great devotion for the residents of Tembleque and other nearby towns.

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.

Calderico Hill rises in the middle of the La Mancha plain, visible for miles around, giving Consuegra (Toledo) its own distinctive identity. The most significant heritage features include the Castle and the Windmills that extend along its summit, following its longitudinal profile. The views of the windmills and castle are truly remarkable.

The Hill rises in the middle of the La Mancha plain, being visible from many kilometers away. Here you will find the Muela or Consuegra castle, of Muslim origin and expanded in the 12th century by the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem. The transfer of the castle and its alfoz to the knights was carried out in the year 1183 by Alfonso VIII, although the fortress had already been reconquered by Alfonso VI, exactly one hundred years before, being the site of constant war confrontations. The extensions to the castle continued over the centuries to adapt to the uses and customs of each era, providing it with an archive, chapel, chapter house, cisterns, defenses... In addition to the castle, on Cerro Calderico there are windmills, located at the top of the hill to better take advantage of the air currents. Of the thirteen mills that originally existed, 12 have been recovered, which are the ones that can be enjoyed in the town today. Each one with its own name, many are dedicated to La Mancha themes, others evoke chapters from Don Quixote.
