To the north of the municipality lies the Castle of Calatrava la Vieja, the imposing ruins of a fortified city. This fortress is of great strategic value, located at an important crossroads. It served as the main route between Toledo and Córdoba, and the one linking Mérida with Zaragoza and the Atlantic with the Levant. During the Islamic period, it was the most important city between Toledo and Córdoba. After its passage into Christian hands, it was the headquarters of the first Spanish military order, the Order of Calatrava (1158).
