Cerro de los Santos is an Iberian religious sanctuary built in the 4th century BCE with evidence of continued use into the Roman period [1]. The site is known for its many votive sculptures, numbering about 300 [1]. Most of the sculptures depict women including the most notable find, the Dama del Cerro de los Santos [1]. In addition to the women, statues of men, possibly dating from a later period, and a few statues of animals have also been found [1]. The site is located outside of the municipality of Montealegre del Castillo in the province of Albacete, Spain [1]. The sculptures accumulated over time with the earliest being dated to the 4th century BCE while later examples have Latin letter inscriptions or appear more Roman in style [1].
