Puerto de Santa Cruz
Village
Town located at an old crossroads—the source of its name—which during Roman rule served as an inn and shelter for travelers on the route between Emerita Augusta and Caesaraugusta. It preserves vestiges of the Muslim period. In the 16th century it passed from crown land to become part of the lordship of the Vargas Carvajal family, counts who would later hold the dukedom of San Carlos.
Iglesia de San Bartolomé Apóstol
Monument
Sixteenth-century church with eighteenth-century altarpieces, a baptismal font and a Gothic pulpit.
El Caño
Monument
Sixteenth-century fountain in the village square, bearing the coats of arms of the Vargas Carvajal family.
Fiestas de San Bartolomé
Activity
Patronal festivities of Puerto de Santa Cruz.
