Ocaña, Administrative center in Toledo Province, Spain.

Located on the Mesa de Ocaña plateau at 730 meters elevation, this municipality stands at the intersection of major Spanish transportation routes.

The territory became Christian in the 11th century, but fell to Almoravid control before returning permanently to Christian rule in 1139.

The Jewish population of 1,500 individuals in 1492 contributed to the development of artisan activities, particularly in glove manufacturing.

The municipality serves as a transportation hub where motorways A-4, A-40, and toll roads R-4 and AP-36 connect central Spain.

The Renaissance-style Convent of Santa Catalina de Siena and the Parish Church of Santa María stand on the site of a 12th-century mosque.
