The current town of Villamanrique de Tajo emerged in the 15th century under the protection of the old fortress of Albuher, which was one of the castles and strongholds built in the 10th century by the Arabs during the rule of the Caliphate of Córdoba on the border of the Tagus River. The hamlet has a rural and peasant character, with linear streets and white facades in the great plain of the Tagus River, and is made up of the town centre itself and the agricultural centres of Buenamesón and Castillo de Tajo. The social centre is the Plaza de la Constitución, where the Town Hall is located, and the starting point of several hiking routes.

The white and blue signs of the Camino de Uclés are paired with the yellow arrows of the Camino de Santiago de Uclés, one of the variants of the Jacobean routes that leaves for Santiago de Compostela from the Monastery of Uclés, one of the heads (Caput Ordinis) of the Order of Santiago from the 13th century.

Built by the Order of Santiago, construction began in 1529 while Charles I reigned and was completed in 1735 under the reign of Philip V. Monumental construction that leaves no one indifferent, and that during the civil war was first a hospital for one side and later a prison for the other. You can visit it by paying an entrance fee and it is no longer used as a guest house because only one monk lives there, who possibly does not reside there at the time I write this chronicle.

It is called that precisely because it took that long to build it (although in reality it was more days) but we can still enjoy its layout in some parts.

This spectacular building built by the Order of Santiago is the end of the route or pilgrimage path that starts from the Church of Santiago in Madrid, and is usually done by numerous pilgrims both on foot and by bike.

The fountain, like all the architecture of the place, is a beautiful carved stone with its metal decorations that inexorably suffer the passage of time.
