November 18, 2025, Plaza Mayor de Ocaña

It was the site of historical events such as the proclamation of the 1812 Constitution and military actions in the 19th century. Its construction lasted more than 150 years, finally being completed in 1961. Its Baroque aesthetic has made it a popular filming location for television series such as Águila Roja and for commercials. It was declared a Site of Cultural Interest in 2002.

The Plaza Mayor of Ocaña (Toledo) is considered one of the most impressive in Castilla-La Mancha due to its size, harmony, and historical significance. It is an arcaded square in the Baroque and Neoclassical styles, begun in 1777 by order of Charles III to emulate the Plaza Mayor of Madrid, albeit on a smaller scale. Its dimensions are imposing: 55 x 52 meters, almost square, with 70 stone pillars and semicircular arches supporting balconies and dormer windows. Symmetry and proportion are highly valued, creating an elegant and monumental visual effect.

The Plaza Mayor of Ocaña (Toledo) is one of the most impressive examples of Castilian Baroque architecture and a must-see if you visit the La Mesa de Ocaña region. Construction: Ordered by Charles III in 1777, inspired by the Plaza Mayor of Madrid.

Cabañas de Yepes, in the Mesa de Ocaña (Toledo), is a small town with rural charm, historical heritage, and a natural setting ideal for relaxing. Parish Church of Our Lady of the Assumption Built in the 16th century, it features a central nave and chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Socorro. Interesting fact: its clock (1829) uses the same clock system as the one at Puerta del Sol in Madrid. Hermitage of San Sebastián Dating from the 18th century, in the popular style, it is located on the road to Huerta de Valdecarábanos.

The first written record of Villatobas appears in the charter of Montealegre in 1219, where it is mentioned as "Villa de Tobas" Villatobas was also the scene of important events during the War of Independence in the 19th century. Over the centuries, it has managed to preserve its historical heritage, including its parish church dedicated to San Juan Bautista and the ruins of its 13th-century castle.

The hermitage of San Jorge dates back to the first half of the 16th century. In the 1970s, the hermitage was practically in ruins, so it was rebuilt thanks to the neighbours of the Arrabal area. This devotion to San Jorge is possibly due to the ancient tradition that said that this saint protected the population from epidemics, diseases and plagues, so common and deadly in the Middle Ages. In addition to the hermitage of San Jorge, Villatobas has other hermitages such as those of Jesús Nazareno, Santa Ana, Santa Catalina, San Cristóbal, San José, and the parish of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, all of them from the 16th and 17th centuries.
