Arnedo, Industrial municipality in La Rioja, Spain
Arnedo is an industrial municipality in La Rioja situated in the Cidacos River valley at approximately 550 meters elevation and spanning about 85 square kilometers. The settlement is surrounded by rocky and sandstone mountains and has historically developed around footwear manufacturing.
The settlement traces its roots to the Neolithic period, with Romans constructing fortifications in the 2nd century BC that were later occupied by Moors in the 8th century. During the Reconquista, a castle was built on Roman foundations to serve as a regional defensive structure.
The Shoe Museum displays traditional footwear craftsmanship and manufacturing equipment that has shaped the town's economy since the early 1900s. The collection tells the story of a skilled trade passed down through generations in this community.
The town is accessible via the LR-134 road and lies about 17 kilometers from Calahorra and approximately 49 kilometers from the regional capital Logroño. The central valley location provides convenient access from both larger cities.
The castle was built in the 9th century during the Reconquista on earlier Roman foundations and served as one of the region's key defensive fortifications. The ruins still show the construction style from that era and provide insight into medieval defensive techniques.
