Image of Consuegra, not of the place itself.

The church of the Cristo de la Vera Cruz, in Consuegra, is a neo-Baroque temple with a Latin-cross plan whose construction began around 1750 and was inaugurated on 15 September 1803; its white marble façade combines Baroque and Neoclassical elements. It houses the image of the Santísimo Cristo de la Vera Cruz, patron saint of Consuegra, together with various Holy Week images. In its annexed rooms there is a museum with three halls displaying a 17th-century portable altarpiece, a Neapolitan image of the Christ Child, gold and silver work, liturgical vestments, scapulars and a Lignum Crucis with a certificate of authenticity.
