The Melque Complex is a historical and archaeological site located near San Martín de Montalbán, in the province of Toledo, Castilla-La Mancha. This complex includes the church of Santa María de Melque, which is one of the best preserved Visigothic churches in Spain.

The monastic complex of Melque was built at the end of the 7th century or beginning of the 8th century and has gone through various historical stages, including its use as a fortification during the Islamic period. The church and its surroundings were declared a Site of Cultural Interest, with the category of Historical Site.

To visit the Melque Complex, you can do so from Tuesday to Sunday, with hours that vary depending on the season. In addition, there is an interpretation center that offers detailed information about the history and evolution of the site.

Next to the church of Santa María de Melque is the oldest monastic site in the Iberian Peninsula. Its ruins date from the 7th century and were built on the foundations of an ancient Roman villa.

It is a site full of history that deserves to be visited and its access is free of charge.
