Cerro de los Santos is an Iberian religious sanctuary built in the 4th century BCE, located in southeastern Spain [1]. The site lies beside an ancient road and was used from the Iberian period through Roman times [1]. Little remains of the original temple structure, though 19th-century excavations documented its layout [1]. The sanctuary is renowned for approximately 300 votive sculptures, the majority depicting women, including the famous Dama del Cerro de los Santos [1].
