Laguna de la Posadilla, Valverde, Volcanic lake in Valverde, Spain.

The Laguna de la Posadilla spans across 293 hectares, featuring a crater lake formed through the interaction between lava and groundwater.

The formation of this maar occurred millions of years ago during intense volcanic activity in the Campo de Calatrava region of Spain.

The lagoon received natural monument status in 1999, reflecting local commitment to preserve geological heritage in the Castilla-La Mancha region.

Access to the lagoon requires coordination with local authorities in Ciudad Real as the site is located on private property.

Mediterranean plants surround the water body, while various bird species including little grebes and stilts nest within the protected area.
