PLACE NAMES




Almagro


Almagro is a town and municipality situated in Ciudad Real province, in the autonomous community of Castile-La Mancha, Spain. A tourist destination, Almagro is designated a Conjunto histórico, a type of conservation area.

Almagro lies within small Paleozoic mountain ranges, with some reserves of shallow creeks, including the Pellejero and de Cuetos. It also lies within a volcanic zone (Cerrro de la Yezosa), which lies upon a quartzite massif. It makes the zone particularly unique, together with that of the zones of Olot and Cabo de Gata, in the sense that it is one of the few important zones of volcanic origin in the Iberian Peninsula. An International Festival of Classical Theater has also been celebrated here annually since 1978.

Local monuments and sights include:
  • Plaza Mayor
  • Manor houses
  • Corral de Comedias
  • Palacio de los Marqueses de Torremejía
  • Palacio de los Condes de Valdeparaíso
  • Palacio de los Medrano
