Although it is associated with El Cid, it was never related to the mercenary knight, but rather to the first Count of El Cid, Rodrigo Días de Vivar y Mendoza, a noble title granted by the Catholic Monarchs in 1492. This fortress, dating back to the High Middle Ages, watches over the Henares valley at the foot of the Alcarria Mountains. A natural paradise with a variety of altitudes.

imposing castle, called del Cid, although Rodrigo Díaz never lived there. The current Jadraque castle is almost entirely the work of the last third of the 15th century, that is, from the last group of medieval castle-palaces, already on the verge of disappearance at this time. Its reform in the 15th century was due to the master builder Alberto de Caravajal, helped by stonemasons from Northern Spain. This master builder also directed the renovation of the castle of Puebla de Almenara (Cuenca). It is likely that the outlines of the reform were given by the architect Juan Guas, although his intervention is not documented. The renovation work greatly affected almost everything that had previously existed there, as the natural terrain of the hill was even lowered. Only what was a large pentagonal tower in the bow was used in the construction of the new late medieval castle (probably towards the middle of the 20th century, almost the entire tower was dismantled to serve as a quarry). One of its panels is fallen today and the castle is closed to visitors.

Although Jadraque is famous for its castle, it does not detract from its monumental centre, which stands out: its 17th century church, which keeps inside the flagellated Christ collecting his tunic, by Zurbarán, and a carving attributed to Pedro de Mena. The Ursuline mansion, which served as a refuge in 1808 for the politician of the Enlightenment, Jovellanos, and for the painter Francisco de Goya. Another mansion, of the opposite sign, is that of the Inquisition, in the Plaza Mayor and with the institution's coat of arms partially destroyed. Together with the church we have a fountain where we can fill the can.
