Argamasilla de Calatrava is a town in the province of Ciudad Real, in the Campo de Calatrava region, in the autonomous community of Castilla - La Mancha.

The first settlers of the area are from the Paleolithic era, having found traces of their presence in a place known as Laguna Blanca. Remains from the Iron Age and mortar constructions of Roman origin have also been found.

In the urban area there are also Visigothic Roman remains, and it is thought that the origin of the modern population is in a small fort built around a tower, after the battle of Las Navas de Tolosa (1212).

The heritage of Argamasilla de Calatrava includes the church of Santa María la Mayor (16th century), the hermitage of the Virgen del Socorro (16th century), the palace house of the Inquisition (17th and 18th centuries), the communal patio house (17th XVI), a perfect example of the Castilian communal house, or the old laundry room (18th and 19th centuries). Also noteworthy is the alcohol factory, built between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, in a neo-Gothic industrial modernist style.

From the point of view of natural heritage, the Laguna Blanca stands out, an ancient wide and low volcanic crater, of great scenic and ornithological beauty.
