Centrally located behind the church on a small square

Impressive building, restorations all around still in full swing. History repeats itself: Christian churches are usually built on a previous or expelled faith, so that it was literally razed to the ground.

The Palace of the Counts of Cirat, also known as “the Big House”, is a Renaissance-style building of civil character. It was built in the last quarter of the 16th century by the nobleman from Almansa, Don Alfonso de Pina. This palace is located in the Plaza de Santa María in the town of Almansa. This palace is a historical and architectural testimony that deserves to be appreciated for its beauty and cultural significance. If you ever have the opportunity to visit Almansa, I recommend exploring this magnificent Renaissance building. 🏰🌟

The original construction could have been the work of the Almohads, who often used the rammed earth technique for their defensive buildings. The remains of rammed earth walls in this castle, traditionally attributed to the Almohad period, were actually built during the first decades of Christian rule, at the end of the 13th century or beginning of the 14th century. In the 14th century, Almansa and its fortress were incorporated into the lordship of Villena. Don Juan Manuel took advantage of the previous construction and ordered its walls to be rebuilt.

The Archpriestal Church of the Assumption in Almansa is an impressive historical and architectural monument. Located in the Plaza de Santa María, next to the Palace of the Counts of Cirat, this church was built in several stages from the 16th to the 19th century.
