History
During the Middle Ages, four kilometres of walls and one hundred and thirty towers protected a population made up of Christians, Moors and Jews.
After the unification of the Iberian kingdoms under the Catholic Monarchs, Ciudad Real became the capital of the province of La Mancha in the 17th century.
This fact favoured its economic development which was spilled into important buildings.
The city was founded by Alfonso X in the 13th century to fight against the Military Order of Calatrava.
Its population is 73,124, which is about an eighth of the population of the province.
The city was surrounded by walls.
Nowadays, there are only two parts of the wall left.
