Tips from the Community
The Torremocha Castle represents the history and monumentality of Santorcaz. The current construction dates back to the 14th and 15th centuries. It was a fortress for the defence and control of the Anchuelo river plain, built on a previous watchtower of Arab origin that formed part of the strategic line of the Alcalá stronghold. At different times it has been the residence of nobles, the seat of archbishops and a prison for clerics, where Cardinal Cisneros and the Princess of Éboli were among others. Attached to the castle walls is the church of San Torcuato, founded in the 13th century, with a beautiful Mudejar tower.

The castle of Almoguera dates from the 15th century, although it was built on the ruins of an old Arab fortification. Little remains of this medieval construction, as the current castle is a reconstruction from the end of the 20th century.

The church dedicated to San Pedro is from the 13th century but important reforms were carried out in it during the 15th century, the main nave was redone and two other lateral ones were added, for example. It preserves its original Romanesque head, the belfry and the presbytery. Inside, don't miss the Gothic ornaments, the Mudejar pair and knuckle armor; and the small ivory carving of the Virgen de los Llanos. It was declared B.I.C with the category of Monument in 1990.
