Nuevo Baztán, Industrial heritage town in Madrid region, Spain

The municipality extends across elevated terrain at 831 meters, featuring a grid pattern of streets centered around the main plaza and baroque buildings.

Juan de Goyeneche founded this industrial settlement in 1709 to establish glass, textile, and hat manufacturing facilities in the Madrid countryside.

The Church of San Francisco Javier and palace complex demonstrate the architectural influence of Jose Benito de Churriguera in Spanish baroque design.

The town sits 40 kilometers from Madrid city center, with regular bus connections making it suitable for educational visits and architectural tours.

The urban layout combines industrial facilities, religious buildings, and residential areas in a planned 18th-century design that remains intact today.
