Santa Ana de Pusa

Building consisting of a single nave in Mudejar style. The main chapel is very large, with five sides, communicating with the nave, which is narrower and has a lowered triumphal arch. The tower has a square floor plan and is located at the foot of the tower, as is the choir. On either side of the main chapel are two chapels with semicircular arches starting from the floor. As access to the nave, there are two lintelled doors facing each other.

On the Pusa River, it dates from the 19th century and is neoclassical in style. The road to Talavera de la Reina runs over the bridge. Its curious name is due to the fact that it is located in the Malpasillo area, where the river flows through a small rocky gorge, so narrow that it could be crossed with a leap, but at risk of death if you take a "wrong step". Three eyes, the largest being the central one with a plaque dated 1852. Brick segmental arches on two central buttresses of semicircular profile of masonry and brick.

Building consisting of a single, square, flat-roofed nave. The façade has a semicircular arch made of brick with an impost, above which is a brick belfry with a single eye. It is the adaptation of an old family pantheon in the cemetery, which no longer exists, where there is now a park next to the building.

Named after the old name of the municipality, this museum was built thanks to the refurbishment in 2006 of a municipal house, next to the old schools (today the "Santa Ana de la Bienvenida" Cultural Centre), in what used to be the house of the teachers. Its aim is to value and make known the culture, customs and traditions of Santa Ana de Pusa through history.
The museum has more than 195 catalogued pieces such as photographs of the inhabitants of the village, farm and household tools, books, documents, the first typewriter of the Town Hall, desks from the old school, number plates and a long etcetera of objects and furniture and also incorporates into its collection works made for various exhibitions of painting, handicrafts and objects related to the life and history of Santa Ana de Pusa made by people from the municipality.A catalogue is available on the City Council's website.

At present, there are remains of 11 watermills scattered along the course of the river Pusa, some of which are already mentioned in the accounts of 1578. Given the seasonal nature of the river, in the driest periods the locals had to go to the Tagus to grind. To the south of the territory of Santa Ana del Pusa, on the border with Los Navalmorales, is the Colado mill. About 3 km downstream, the mill of El Álamo, where the river is more dammed and, a little more than 1 km further on, next to the bridge of Malpasillo, the ruins of the mill of Tío Marico, with the curiosity of having two buckets to move, at the same time, the two stones in charge of producing the flour. The Colado and Tío Marico mills milled grain until the middle of the last century. The Alamo mill seems to have produced electricity only for the village, hence it is also known as the Light mill.

Several fountains are scattered throughout the town centre. The first fountain in the village is the fountain in Calle del Reguero or Calle del Concejo, located very close to the town hall. It has two granite troughs attached to the vaulted roof for drinking water for livestock. Other fountains are the Fresca fountain, whose construction is of a rectangular hut type decorated with Talavera ceramics and, close to it, the Los Burros fountain, also with a long trough. These fountains are currently used by the villagers and have a well-preserved extraction system, consisting of a water pump and an outlet pipe.
