Tips

Vegas y Alcarria Madrileña

September 16, 2024

The town centre has been declared a Historic-Artistic Site. The Plaza Mayor is splendid, with a medieval appearance, made up of houses built in different periods, with three floors, lintelled galleries, wooden balconies, a total of 234, and arcades with upright posts and footings. The oldest buildings are from the 15th century. The most important monument is the church of the Assumption, Gothic from the 16th century, although it has a mixture of Gothic, Plateresque, Renaissance and Baroque styles. The saying goes that Chinchón has “a church without a tower and a tower without a church”. The church is called the Assumption and the solitary tower is the Clock Tower, which formerly belonged to the parish church of Nuestra Señora de Gracia. On the outskirts of the town is the imposing castle of the Counts of Chinchón, which is currently closed.

Chinchón is located in the southeast of the Community of Madrid, nestled between the Tajuña and Tajo rivers. It is one of the most visited towns in Madrid; in fact, it appears on the list of the most beautiful towns in Spain. It was also one of the candidate towns to be the Capital of Rural Tourism in 2022. The most visited area is its Plaza Mayor, a porticoed square from the 15th and 16th centuries. Other highlights include the Castle of the Counts of Chinchón, the Lope de Vega Theater, the Clock Tower, the Convent of the Poor Clares, the five hermitages of San Antón, San Roque, Santa Ana, and those of Nuestra Señora del Rosario and Nuestra Señora de la Misericordia.
