The best running trails around Mascaraque

Currently, it is not possible to climb to the castle because a tower has collapsed.

Located in the Plaza de la Constitución, in the historic Town Hall in the Neo-Mudéjar style, designed by Ezequiel Martín Martín and built between 1927–1928, with a striking brick facade, masonry panels, horseshoe arches and ceramic decorations, culminating in a circular tower topped with a bulbous dome (tiled, from 1930).

The Town Hall is perhaps the most unique building in the municipality, representing a beautiful metaphor with its name and use. Its architect was Ezequiel Martín Martín, and its construction began in 1927 and was completed practically a year later in 1928. The tile-clad tower was completed in 1930.

The Almonacid Castle in Toledo is a Muslim building that was donated by Alfonso VI to the Toledo Cathedral. Its current configuration is due to the reforms carried out by Archbishop D. Pedro Tenorio in the 14th century and later it served as a prison for D. Alfonso de Gijón y Noreña, bastard son of Enrique II. In the 16th century, D. Pedro Gumiel commented that the fortress needed urgent repairs. In the 18th century it passed into the hands of the counts of Mora and during the War of Independence, in the 19th century (1809), it was a refuge for the troops of General Venegas, with the Battle of Almonacid taking place at its feet, which ended with the capture of the castle by the French. In 1839 the mayor of Almonacid allowed the residents of the town to use the material from which it was made for private use, further accentuating its ruin. Today the castle is property of the City Council and access is free.

From any point that we approach Almonacid de Toledo and from tens of kilometers away, raised on a promontory, as if it still defended the road to La Mancha, the figure of the castle can be seen. It is a good example of a 14th century castle, intended as a permanent residence for troops and to constitute a military population for surveillance and defense.

Mora, how could it be otherwise, owes its name to its ancient Islamic settlers. It is famous for its production of olive oil, which you should not miss. It also hides an architectural jewel that is the headquarters of its Town Hall, a Neo-Mudéjar building designed by Ezequiel Martín from 1927.

Impossible not to see it even from kilometers away, the ruins of the Almonacid castle rise imposingly on top of the hill at the foot of which the town is located. There are records of the castle dating from the year 848 and it is believed to be of Muslim origin. Surrounded by a deep moat next to its wall, the castle is made up of an interior enclosure and a central tower. In the 11th century it passed into the hands of King Alfonso VI, centuries later it used to be a prison and its most recent function dates back to the beginning of the 19th century as a fortress during the War of Independence. Without a doubt, it is worth visiting since it will also give you the best views in all directions towards this beautiful area of Toledo.

Built in 1928 after the end of the First World War, it is an icon of the boom in the export of products produced in Mora, such as its renowned olive oil, which brought a lot of wealth to the town. The architect Ezequiel Martin Martin, in charge of its construction, knew how to perfectly capture the Neo-Mudejar style, resulting in a building that does not go unnoticed and is visited by many tourists to appreciate its beauty.
