Torrecilla de la Torre combines cultural and historical heritage with specific connections to local routes. The livestock-driving route “Colada del Camino de Villasexmir” lies in the municipalities of Torrecilla de la Torre and Villasexmir. This brings together local history, landscape references and different forms of transport.

Culture and History

The Ermita del Cristo de la Piedad is classified as a BIPC with preventive protection status. The Humilladero del Cristo de la Piedad, also known as Cristo de la Piedad, stood where the roads to San Cebrián de Mazote and La Santa Espina separated, a few metres from the village, beyond the crossing or ford of the stream.

The humilladero was built by the local resident José Moneo between 1793 and 1795. San Marcos on 25 April is part of Torrecilla de la Torre’s festival calendar. Thus, a protected religious heritage site, its historical origins and a specific date in the festival calendar come together in the same place.
