Caracuel Castle

Highlight • Castle

It was the place where one of the oldest parcels in Campo de Calatrava, Caracuel, was founded in 1170. Even so, a few years later it was recovered by the Muslims until the victory of Alfonso VIII in Las Navas de Tolosa in 1212.
Mainly, the pentagonal tower of the castle stands out, which covers an older one, from the Almohad period. Today, remains of what was its square enclosure and even the remains of a cistern are preserved. We can access the castle through a narrow stone path that begins behind the Hermitage of Santo Cristo de Caracuel de Calatrava.

Silo (Corral Clva)

Highlight • Monument

An initiative of the Junta de Castilla - La Mancha and the Laborvalía association has set itself the goal of decorating ten old grain silos with murals.

In this case, it is a work by the artist Okuda San Miguel, who, inspired by the province of La Mancha and the "Almodóvar girls", has incorporated some characters from the films of the La Mancha film director, being able to see Rossy de Palma or the poster of the movie "Bad Education".

Church of Nuestra Señora de la Anunciación and Centenary Monument, Corral de Calatrava

Highlight • Religious Site

Corral de Calatrava is a municipality that is located in the heart of Campo de Calatrava and through its term run the Guadiana River and its tributary, the Jabalón River. In addition, at the limit of its territory, the emblematic Castle of Caracuel stands out, which has very remote historical antecedents.
The Peñarroya Volcano is one of the best examples of Strombolian edifices in the Campo de Calatrava volcanic region. It stands out for its height (814 meters), which rises as an almost perfect cone on a quartzite ridge-plain at 740 meters, being the highest of the pyroclastic buildings in the region.

The Peñarroya Lagoon owes its origin to the damming of the headwaters of the Arroyo del Lobo by the pyroclasts emitted by the Medias Lunas Volcano and by the lava flows from the Peñarroya Volcano.

In Corral de Calatrava is the Church of Our Lady of the Annunciation, a Gothic-Mudejar building from the end of the 15th century. From the same century is the Hermitage of Our Lady of Peace and the Hermitage of San Antón.

The Puente de la Ovejas is from the 16th century, where Paleolithic remains have been found, there is another from the 18th century with seven eyes.
