Image of San Muñoz, not of the place itself.

The Cristo de la Buena Muerte de San Muñoz (Campo de Salamanca) is a wooden carving from the late 16th century, attributed with near-total certainty to Juan de Juni or his workshop, kept in the right-hand chapel of the church of San Juan Bautista, a temple reached by a flight of steps on the Teso del Calvario. It is considered one of the most valuable religious works in the diocese of Ciudad Rodrigo and has been shown in exhibitions such as Imágenes de Misterio (2000) and Las Edades del Hombre (2006, Ciudad Rodrigo). The Brotherhood of the Vera Cruz carries it in procession on the night of Holy Saturday.
