How to get there

Road transport

This village of noble ancestry is in the centre of the county known since the Middle Ages as El Campo, which is also famous for its cereal crops.
On the side of the N-400 road crossing the village, we find the Nativity Church, one of the most notable churches in the province; built during the 15th to 16th century the beautiful front can be highlighted. The front was built using an Elizabethan Gothic arch with another splayed arch inside it. Both arches are profusely decorated with Baroque artistic motifs.
To one side, we find the grandiose tower domineering the surrounding landscape. The building has gained recognition as a national monument. The rest of the urban complex is still interested, in spite of a process of modernisation.

Special trips in Carrascosa del Campo

- Santa Ana Hermitage, with a Latin cross plant, with groin vaults and a hemispherical dome in the crossing.
- Church of the Natividad de Nuestra Sra, from the 15th to 16th centuries, awarded the declaration of Historical artistic monument in 1972. A sizeable archive that has almost preserved its full content since 1532.
