Torrelaguna

Located in the Middle Valley of Jarama, Torrelaguna extends across 43 square kilometers at an elevation of 744 meters above sea level.

Cardinal Francisco Jiménez de Cisneros, founder of Alcalá de Henares University, supported the construction of multiple monuments in his native Torrelaguna during the 15th century.

The Gothic Church of Santa María Magdalena, built between the 14th and 18th centuries, displays Renaissance and Baroque architectural elements throughout its structure.

Three bus lines connect Torrelaguna with Madrid capital and neighboring towns, providing regular transportation services for residents and visitors.

The town served as the first operational site of Canal de Isabel II, marking the beginning of modern water management systems in the Madrid region.
