Coria

The town stretches along the banks of the Alagón River at 280 meters elevation, surrounded by agricultural lands and protected by ancient stone walls.

Romans established Caurium in this location, granting it citizenship status in 74 CE before the settlement evolved through Visigoth and Muslim periods.

The Cathedral of Santa María de la Asunción combines Gothic and Renaissance elements, representing the religious and architectural legacy of the medieval period.

Two industrial zones, Rosales and Lagunillas, house over one hundred companies, providing employment opportunities and economic stability for the region.

The city walls, dating from the 3rd century, form a complete defensive perimeter with four access gates and remain among the best preserved Roman fortifications.
