The historic center of Talamanca de Jarama is one of the most interesting medieval ensembles in the Community of Madrid, boasting a rich heritage and a history dating back to the Iron Age.

It is associated with the ancient Roman city of Armántica and later became a fortified medina founded by Emir Muhammad I in 852 to protect the Jarama River route.
Muslim period: It reached its peak as a military and cultural center, with walls and a Koranic school.
Reconquest: In 1085, it fell into Christian hands and became an important commercial center under the Archbishopric of Toledo.
Later centuries: It preserves Roman, Visigothic, Arab, and Christian traces, giving it a unique character.
