It stretches along the eastern bank of the Tagus River and is the second most populated municipality in the province and the fourth in Castilla-La Mancha.

Its monuments include the Basilica of Our Lady of the Prado, which houses the city's current patron saint. Named Queen of the Hermitages by Philip II, it is also known as the Sistine Chapel of ceramics, as this striking art has been displayed here in all its splendor from the 16th century to the present day. Its construction style is a combination of Renaissance and Baroque, although it has undergone various restorations over the centuries. It was elevated to the status of Basilica in 1989 by Pope John Paul II.

In the Church of Santa María La Mayor (La Colegial), you can admire its pure Gothic cloister, which was built around 1469. Its rectangular floor plan consists of three longitudinal naves and no transept. In the years 1704 and 1705 the two upper sections of the Tower were added.
