Talavera de la Reina

The city extends along both banks of the Tagus River, featuring two central islands and surrounded by the Sierra de San Vicente mountains.

Originally established as Caesarobriga during Roman times, the settlement transformed into a major administrative center following the Christian conquest in 1083.

The traditional ceramic production of Talavera received UNESCO recognition as intangible cultural heritage, influencing pottery techniques across Spain and Mexico.

The municipality maintains strong agricultural activities with tobacco and cotton industries, while developing modern furniture manufacturing sectors for economic growth.

The medieval city walls contain eighteen watchtowers constructed between the 12th and 13th centuries, forming a defensive perimeter around the old town.
