Castilla–La Mancha, Autonomous community in central Spain.
The region encompasses five provinces - Albacete, Ciudad Real, Cuenca, Guadalajara, and Toledo - covering 79,463 square kilometers of varied landscapes and plateaus.
Following Spain's 1978 Constitution, Castilla-La Mancha gained autonomous status in 1982, establishing Toledo as its capital and administrative center.
The region holds several UNESCO World Heritage sites, including Toledo's historic center, where Islamic, Jewish, and Christian architecture intersect through centuries.
A network of high-speed trains connects the main cities of the region with Madrid, while local buses serve rural areas and smaller towns.
The mercury mines of Almadén, operating since Roman times, contain the largest cinnabar deposits on Earth and produced one-third of the world's mercury.
