Algete

Located 30 kilometers northeast of Madrid, Algete spans across 37.88 square kilometers of land at an elevation of 741 meters above sea level.

Archaeological discoveries indicate continuous settlement patterns from Iron Age through Roman and Visigoth periods, with notable Arabic influences visible in irrigation systems.

The Church of Asunción de Nuestra Señora stands as a central religious structure, representing the architectural evolution from earlier Romanesque foundations to current form.

Multiple bus lines connect Algete to Madrid and surrounding regions, with residential zones including Santo Domingo, Prado Norte, and Ciudad Jardín neighborhoods.

In 1728, Philip V established Algete as a Duchy, granting it to Christopher of Moscoso and Montemayor, marking a significant change in its administrative status.
