A perfect setting for a review of our history

Uclés is a true gateway to the Region. Its strategic importance, is maintained throughout the centuries, from the civilizations, roman, visigothic, Arabic and almoravid and is especially key during the reconquista. As the headquarters of the Order of Santiago, its relations of power are increased, and though it decays with the time its military power, Uclés will continue to be based battles as the war Napoleonic. Architecturally, the years-long construction of the Monastery left in their facades, a rich variety of styles, plateresque, smitty, churrigueresque, and scenic values looks at the vast sea of the stain, but from a hill of alcarria.
