Atienza

Located at 1,169 meters altitude, Atienza extends across 104 square kilometers in the transition zone between Sistema Ibérico and Sistema Central mountain ranges.

The Castle of Atienza, constructed during the Reconquista period, served as a critical defensive structure against invading forces in medieval Spain.

The municipality maintains its medieval architecture through preserved city walls, Romanesque churches, and traditional Spanish celebrations throughout the year.

Regional roads provide access to Atienza from major cities in Guadalajara Province, with local accommodations available for visitors exploring the area.

Ancient Celtiberian settlements at Cerro del Padrastro reveal the earliest human presence in this high-altitude Spanish municipality.
