Monuments
Totana
Esta edificación se encuentra sobre un promontorio habitado desde la Prehistoria, tal y como atestiguan los restos arqueológicos del Calcolítico encontrados en el subsuelo. En la actualidad acoge las dependencias culturales de la localidad. Esta construcción se levantó a finales del siglo XIX según proyecto del arquitecto Justo Millán Espinosa como cárcel del partido Judicial. Anteriormente existió en esta zona una ermita edificada a finales del siglo XVII y dedicada a la advocación de los Santos Cosme y Damián. Destacar el colorido de su fachada, como también el quebrado juego de su estructura, lo que le confieren al edificio un gran dinamismo y una agradable belleza. En su fachada se conserva el escudo de la Encomienda de Santiago, que estuvo, en otro tiempo, ubicado en la casa principal de esa institución. Igualmente en su interior podemos contemplar la lápida de piedra que lo acompañaba y que nos relata la vinculación de los infantes de España al maestrazgo de esta Orden Militar.
Lugares de interés
Santiago de La Ribera (San Javier)
Santiago de la Ribera was born in the late 19th century, originating from an idea by Frey José Mª Barnuevo and Rodrigo de Villamayor, a Knight of the Order of Santiago and owner of the Torre Mínguez Estate. He subdivided a portion of the estate, arranging it in a grid pattern, and sold these plots through a land tenure system to locals and affluent individuals from Murcia. Thus, we find a perfectly urbanized poulation, with its center revolving around Sandoval Avenue and explanada Brnuevo, featuring numerous shops, restaurants, bars, etc. The original house of the estate, Torre Mínguez, still stands and has a large and beautiful front garden.
Lugares de interés
Archivel (Caravaca de La Cruz)
La pedanía caravaqueña de Archivel, situada al oeste de Caravaca de la Cruz, cuenta con un rico patrimonio arqueológico. Concretamente, podemos encontrar, en una elevación de mediana altura, a escasamente un kilómetro “El Cerro de las Fuentes”, un lugar que ha sido objeto de un buen número de campañas de excavación donde se han hallado restos de un yacimiento datado en el tercer milenio a.C, además de encontrarse vestigios de la importante Cultura Argárica. La cumbre, amesetada, se alza hasta los 1.000 metros sobre el nivel del mar.
