The Church of the Assumption in Almansa is an imposing monument that stands in front of the Plaza de Santa María. It is a must-see when touring the historic center of Almansa. Inside, Our Lady of Bethlehem, the Patroness of the city, presides over the High Altar. Construction began on April 30, 1524. Throughout the first half of the 16th century, it was developed from the foundation to the elevation of the nave walls, the side chapels, and buttresses were added. The sculptural group on the façade represents the Annunciation, with the Virgin kneeling before a lectern and the archangel Gabriel in front of her. If you're thinking of visiting the city, here's a little history to inspire you!

The Palace of the Counts of Cirat, also known as “the Big House”, is a Renaissance-style building with a civil character. It was built in the last quarter of the 16th century by the Almanseño noble Don Alfonso de Pina. This palace is located in the Plaza de Santa María in the town of Almansa. This palace is a historical and architectural testimony that deserves to be appreciated for its beauty and cultural significance. If you ever have the opportunity to visit Almansa, I recommend exploring this magnificent Renaissance building. 🏰🌟

The original construction could have been the work of the Almohads, who used to use the rammed earth technique for their defensive buildings. The remains of rammed earth walls in this castle, traditionally attributed to the Almohad period, were actually built during the first decades of Christian rule, at the end of the 13th century or the beginning of the 14th century. In the 14th century, Almansa and its fortress were incorporated into the Villena manor. Don Juan Manuel took advantage of the previous construction and ordered its walls to be rebuilt.

It was built in the 18th century as the residence of the Counts of Cirat family, one of the most influential families of the time in the region. After the death of the Counts of Cirat, the building passed through several hands and uses, as a Civil Guard barracks, school and public library. Currently, the building is the headquarters of the Provincial Historical Archive of Albacete.
