The environment of Alcolea de Calatrava is fundamental for the knowledge of the geology and paleontology of the Calatrava area. In its municipal area is the famous Peñarroya Volcano, declared a Natural Monument, in addition to the Cerro de la Cruz Volcano, the Zahurdones Crater and the Las Higueruelas Volcanic Caldera. This gives it great attractiveness from a geomorphological and landscape point of view, which has aroused great interest among the scientific community.

Of its urban center, the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption stands out, in a style called “Renaissance Purism”, which was developed during the second third of the 16th century and is characterized by great ornamental simplicity, sobriety and purity of lines.
