Tips

Vegas y Alcarria Madrileña

November 15, 2024

The liveliest places in Carabaña are the Plaza de Joaquín Orea, on one side of the Asunción church, and the Plaza de España, where the Town Hall is located, a beautiful neoclassical stone fountain with a circular basin, built in 1798 during the reign of Charles IV, and the Ara Romana de Carabaña, a museum dedicated to local history from Roman times, with an altar from the 3rd century BC dedicated to the god Mithras. The streets slope down towards the Fonginena ravine and the Tajuña plain, seeking the passage of the river over a bridge that they call Roman because it already existed in those times, but the current construction is from the 16th century. Towards the moor, neighbourhoods of modern houses have developed, on hillsides with disturbing names such as Valdequitapán, Mata Asnos and Calvario, where the hermitage of Santa Bárbara is located, one of the town's viewpoints and a passage for the Peña Bermeja hiking route.
