Image of Montiel, not of the place itself.

The hermitage of the Santísimo Cristo de la Expiración of Montiel (Campo de Montiel, Ciudad Real) has its origin in 1243, when the Order of Santiago built a vicarage there that centuries later became a convent. After this burned down in the 15th century, the present hermitage was built, one of the oldest buildings preserved in Montiel, with three naves dedicated to the Santísimo Cristo, to the apostle Santiago and to the Virgen del Socorro.
