Chinchilla de Montearagón

The municipality extends across 679 square kilometers of elevated terrain at 903 meters above sea level, featuring narrow streets that wind around a central hill.

The castle, with origins traced to 928 AD, served as a prison for César Borgia in 1503 following accusations of murdering his brother, the Duke of Gandía.

The National Ceramic Museum and Santa María del Salvador Parochial Museum preserve collections that demonstrate the regional artistic traditions through centuries.

The town includes several districts such as Casa Blanca de los Rioteros, Estación de Chinchilla, La Felipa, and El Villar, where wines carry the Almansa Designation of Origin.

The Iberian Mausoleum of Pozo Moro, dating from 500 BC, represents the oldest known Iberian grave monument, with its original structure displayed in Madrid.
