Santa Cruz de la Zarza

Image of Santa Cruz de la Zarza, not of the place itself.

Settlement here goes back to the Iron Age, and Roman remains point to a site called Belcinia or Velsinia. In Visigothic times it was known as Castelforte de Valcominoso, and in 1253 Master Pelayo Pérez Correa granted it a charter.
