Plaza Mayor of La Solana and Church of Santa Catalina

Highlight • Historical Site

This Church located in the Plaza Mayor, responds to the late Gothic style although it presents elements of other artistic styles. Construction began in 1420 but, due to various vicissitudes, it was not finished until 1524. The temple has late Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque elements. Its two covers stand out from the outside. The north or Santa Catalina with a Herrerian elements and the south or Santiago. Especially the north one stands out with a decoration between Renaissance and Baroque with harmonious forms at the bases of column bodies, temple and semicircular tympanum completing the beautiful access to the temple.

Motilla del Azuer Archaeological Site

Highlight • Historical Site

Daimiel offers us spectacular surroundings, and the Motilla site does not escape this spell. Over four thousand years ago, its inhabitants built several concentric lines of walls over a deep well and a vigorous square tower.
The Bronze Age emerges in La Mancha lands where water is of great importance due to its scarcity and this dates back to ancient times, so inside the patio the inhabitants of Azuer dug a well until reaching the water table, at a depth of about 16 meters, to supply water to the settlement. Its functionality experienced variations during the different phases of occupation, being also used as an occasional stabling area for sheep, goats and pigs, but mainly as a cereal store (barley and wheat). The grave goods are scarce, except in exceptional cases of adult individuals buried with ceramic vases, daggers with copper rivets and awls of this same metal, which could indicate a hierarchical society. This profound journey to the second millennium BC is not only well preserved but also magical and unique.

Castillo de Manzanares

Highlight • Castle

The Castle of Manzanares (Castillo de Pilas Bonas) is included in the Inventory of Architectural Heritage of Historic-Artistic Interest carried out by the Ministry of Culture in 1979. Although there are still many dark spots regarding the origin of the Castle and the population of Manzanares, various historians agree that the Castle must have been built around the year 1239, after the demarcation of the territories of the orders of Santiago and Calatrava.
The reasons for its construction would probably be the proximity to the Azuer River, the existence of wells with plenty of water or the intersection of roads and paths.
