Image of Villalgordo del Júcar, not of the place itself.

In 1842 Santiago Gosálvez set up, beside the Júcar in Villalgordo del Júcar, a flour mill, a spinning mill and the second continuous papermaking mill in Spain, the origin of the town's industrial heyday. From that textile and papermaking period the Gosálvez family's palace still stands, declared a Bien de Interés Cultural (Spain's highest level of heritage protection) on 16 June 1993.
