The Iron Bridge over the Guadiana River, also known as the Austrias Bridge, is a significant engineering work in the history of Ciudad Real and the region of Castilla-La Mancha. It was built to be part of the railway line that connected Ciudad Real with Badajoz, being an important route for transport and communication in the first half of the 20th century. The construction of the bridge began in 1921 and was completed in 1927. Its design and construction were carried out by the company Material para Ferrocarriles y Construcciones S.A., which used advanced techniques for the time. The bridge is made up of an iron metal structure, supported by masonry pillars, which gives it its characteristic name. During the Spanish Civil War, the bridge played a strategic role and was damaged due to its importance for the movement of troops and supplies. It was later repaired and continued in use until the railway line was decommissioned in the 1960s. Today, the Iron Bridge is a protected monument and a testament to the region's industrial heritage. It is a popular place for walks and hiking trails, allowing visitors to appreciate both its historical value and the natural views of the Guadiana River and its surroundings.

It is a place full of history, with a special charm. Formerly this bridge was part of the railway line that connected Ciudad Real with Madrid. At the beginning of the nineties it stopped being used as it did not meet the conditions to support the new AVE route between the capital and Seville. After its conditioning for use as a greenway, it is an attractive pedestrian crossing point to cross the Guadiana River at the height of the Vicario reservoir, next to the Miguelturreña district of Peralvillo, especially when we can see water flowing through its channel, something uncommon in dry season. Ideal for taking photos and admiring its imposing structure.

Beautiful seen from below and with water as before.

The Alarcos mill is documented as early as the 13th century, located next to the Alarcos bridge. It is a hydraulic mill that, in medieval times, was the most important machinery of the economy.

The old Alarcos bridge is located in a natural enclosure of the Guadiana River. Throughout history, it has meant an important step because, since Roman times, it has been integrated into the road that linked Toledo with Seville. One of the functions of Alarcos Castle would be to protect the passage through this point.

Located in the Plaza de la Constitución next to the town hall.

A religious building dating from the 17th-20th centuries and mixes a popular style with a Latin cross plan. Its interior does not stand out for its extravagance but for its simplicity, with its rammed earth walls and reinforced masonry in the corners. It has limestone ashlars and its central vault stands out, which is the most recent construction inside the Church.

In the Park is the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Alarcos, a Gothic-style hermitage located in Alarcos, declared a Site of Cultural Interest in 1980. Gothic style and basilica in plan, a large tracery rose window opens above its door. Their pilgrimage is celebrated on Pentecost Monday.
