Salvacañete is a municipality in the comarca of Serranía Media-Campichuelo y Serranía Baja, in the province of Cuenca, with 300 inhabitants (INE 2025), situated in the valley of the río Cabriel, which crosses the municipal area from north to south, next to the peak of the Cruz de los Tres Reinos (1,558 m), where Castilla-La Mancha, Aragón and the Comunidad Valenciana meet; the village itself stands at 1,209 m. In its municipal area there are remains of a Roman villa beside the hermitage of the Virgen de Valdeoña, with a mosaic of geometric decoration, and in 1934 a hoard of Roman and Iberian denarii, hidden around 95 BC, was discovered. It preserves the castle of Torrefuerte, a 13th-century fortification with 15th-century alterations, and encompasses the hamlets of Casas Nuevas, Hoya del Peral, Masegarejo, Molino de Arriba, La Nogueruela and Valle Carmona.
