    The Plaza Mayor of Ocaña (Toledo) is considered one of the most impressive in Castilla-La Mancha due to its size, harmony, and historical significance.

    It is an arcaded square in the Baroque and Neoclassical styles, begun in 1777 by order of Charles III to emulate the Plaza Mayor of Madrid, albeit on a smaller scale.

    Its dimensions are imposing: 55 x 52 meters, almost square, with 70 stone pillars and semicircular arches supporting balconies and dormer windows.
    Symmetry and proportion are highly valued, creating an elegant and monumental visual effect.

    It was the site of historical events such as the proclamation of the 1812 Constitution and military actions in the 19th century.
    Its construction lasted more than 150 years, finally being completed in 1961. Its Baroque aesthetic has made it a popular filming location for television series such as Águila Roja and for commercials.
    It was declared a Site of Cultural Interest in 2002.

    It is worth taking a walk around Ocaña to warm up or at the end of the activity to realize the importance that this town has had throughout history as "Pórtico de la Mancha". Perhaps the most remarkable thing is its main square, a Baroque construction from the 18th century with 70 arches.
