Exploring the World of Gothic Fantasy Architecture

A Journey Through Spain's Central Plateau ~ Ciudad Real (Region) This is a must-visit attraction when passing through Ciudad Real—a transitional Gothic-style building whose origins can be traced back to a Romanesque temple. It has undergone multiple restorations, with the most recent one shaping its current appearance. The first renovation took place during the reign of Alfonso X "The Wise." The southern gate and the main altar painting are in Renaissance style. The Perdón Gate features Gothic design with Romanesque elements and is believed to have been the church's entrance during Alfonso X's era. Notable items in the sacristy include several paintings, wooden panels by Becerril, and an exquisite Baroque-style cabinet. The new tower was completed in the 19th century, consisting of four stone-built sections.

Spanish Central Plateau Adventure ~ Ciudad Real (Region) Located in Campo Calatrava, Ciudad Real boasts a hilly terrain and boasts a modern layout while retaining all the charm of La Mancha. The arrival of the Madrid-Seville high-speed train has made transportation even more convenient. The city offers a unique cuisine centered around game, cheese, and wine. Furthermore, the Cabañeros and Las Tablas de Daimiel Natural Parks showcase its rich ecosystem. In the Middle Ages, four kilometers of city walls and 130 towers protected a population comprised of Christians, Moors, and Jews. After the unification of the Peninsular Kingdom under the Catholic Monarchs, Ciudad Real became the capital of La Mancha Province in the 17th century. This development benefited its economy, leading to investment in important architecture. From Ciudad Real, there are many ways to discover the province immortalized in Cervantes's "Don Quixote de la Mancha." Almagro, located in Campo Calatrava County, is renowned for its open-air theater (a national monument) and its International Classical Theater Festival. In addition to other interesting buildings, the National Theatre Museum and the Parador de Turismo are also worth visiting. #SeptemberDestinations2025#SpainTravel#Castilla-LaMancha
