The Castillo de Garcimuñoz gives its name to the town itself and is the most impressive element in the center at the point you reach the town. Basically since it sticks out from the rest of the houses in the village!

Located at the foot of La Sarten hill and very close to the town of La Almarcha, the Molinillo reservoir is a beautiful and quiet place that offers very interesting views of this area of the interior of La Mancha.

Not very well known, the so-called "airones wells" are pagan elements that were believed to be a bridge to the underworld. In particular, the La Almarcha well was once believed to be the gateway to hell and even a connection to the distant Mediterranean Sea, being visited on several occasions by Emperor Carlos I. Today you may or may not continue to believe in these hypotheses, The truth is that you can visit it by following a picturesque path through this area of the interior of La Mancha.

Built under the order of Garcimuñoz, a knight who accompanied King Alfonso VIII on his conquering crusade, the castle has passed through various owners in the following centuries until, in the 18th century, the Church of San Juan Bautista was built within its walls and use as a graveyard. It has recently been restored to enable it to be visited by the public and a sample of very picturesque sculptural structures that were inspired by nature has been inaugurated inside the parade ground.

Between 1850 and 1855, the optical telegraph service provided communication between the different important cities at the time. This tower was part of the Madrid-Valencia line and part of it still stands today. As is common in these works, the towers were located in strategic places that also allow us to appreciate wonderful views of the surrounding landscape and in this case also of the Alarcón reservoir where the Júcar and Gritos rivers meet.
