Orgaz stretches out in its hollow and shakes off the dust of history that sprinkles medieval songs, county records and historical files to narrate its journey, while we contemplate its living legacy in the walk through its streets and monuments.

From an illustrious entrance, the doors of its ancient walls already immerse us in the town and in the Middle Ages, to lose ourselves in both as soon as we flank the Arch of San José or the Arch of Belén. The old town surrounds us with interest and makes us turn our gaze that stops at the details. The house of Calderón de la Barca or that of the Vínculo de las Cadenas. The Church of Santo Tomás Apóstol by Alberto de Churriguera and with an illustration by El Greco, El Expolio, a painter who is impregnating the town and it with his work.

The Castle of the Counts of Orgaz, is from the 14th century, possibly built on a previous one, it is a beautiful example of a residential fortress and of magnificent conservation. It has a rectangular floor plan and is finished with beautiful battlements with wonderful projecting turrets at the corners. The Keep has a semicircular apse corresponding to a chapel that breaks the rectilinear structure of the complex.

It is located in a ravine at the foot of the Sierra de Yébenes. Among the places of interest, the church of Santo Tomás Apóstol, from the 18th century; Orgaz castle, built at the end of the 14th century; the Cinco Ojos bridge, built to give way over the Riánsares stream during the reign of Carlos III; and the Socorro hermitage, which rises to the north on the road to Toledo.
