Castilla-La Mancha Essentials
Castilla-La Mancha’s landscape is defined by the limestone cliffs of Cuenca, the medieval fortifications of Sigüenza and Belmonte, and the imperial architecture of Toledo. This region preserves the 12th-century San Martín and Roman Alcántara bridges spanning the Tagus River. Key landmarks include the iconic 16th-century windmills of Cerro Calderico, the Gothic-Norman Cuenca Cathedral, and the 'hanging houses' cantilevered over the Huécar gorge.
