Alcazár de San Juan
Highlight • Settlement
Its name comes from the Military Order of Saint John, which dominated the area after the Reconquista.
It claims to be the birthplace of Miguel de Cervantes, as the baptismal font where, according to some studies, the writer was baptized is preserved in the Collegiate Church of Santa María la Mayor.
It was an important railway junction and economic center in the 19th and 20th centuries, which shaped its urban development.
