Cerro Almodóvar, Inselberg in Vicálvaro, Spain
The Cerro Almodóvar rises 726 meters above sea level, forming a prominent limestone hill that stands out in the southeastern landscape of Madrid.
Archaeological excavations in 2011 revealed a Visigoth cemetery containing over 900 graves, dating back to the sixth century near the base of the hill.
The name Almodóvar stems from Arabic origins, meaning 'the round,' despite the hill's oval shape that characterizes its silhouette against the Madrid skyline.
Visitors can reach the summit by following multiple trails from the roundabout at Avenida de las Comunidades, crossing train tracks near Pinar de Santa Eugenia.
The hill contains remnants of a Republican bunker from the Spanish Civil War, which served as a strategic observation point for monitoring surrounding roads.
