Alcaraz

The municipality of Alcaraz extends across 370 square kilometers of terrain at an elevation of 962 meters in central Spain.

Following its incorporation into Christian domain in 1213, Alcaraz received city status through a royal privilege granted in 1429.

The governance structure of medieval Alcaraz reflected social hierarchies through the nobleza hidalga and caballeros cuantiosos who held local power.

The municipality operates under postal code 02300 and maintains connections to regional transportation networks through established road systems.

The territorial extent of Alcaraz decreased fivefold by the end of the 16th century when multiple hamlets gained independence from the municipality.
