Ocaña, Administrative center in Toledo Province, Spain.
Ocaña is a town on the Ocaña plateau in Toledo Province, positioned at about 730 meters elevation. The settlement lies at a crossroads where major routes converge and the landscape consists of rolling flatlands.
The territory changed hands between Christian and Islamic control several times before coming permanently under Christian rule in the 12th century. This shifting history left marks on the architecture and the makeup of the population.
The town reflects a time when different communities lived together and shaped its craft traditions. The buildings that remain today remind visitors of when these skills were part of everyday life.
The town is easily reached by motorways connecting central Spain to this region. Visitors will find a straightforward place without extensive tourist facilities, ideal for passing through or stopping on longer journeys.
Where a mosque once stood, the Church of Santa María and the Renaissance Convent of Santa Catalina de Siena now stand, embodying the religious transformation of the place. This layering of different sacred buildings tells of the complex history of the region.
