What to see and do in Los Navalmorales

Los Navalmorales
Village
Municipality of the comarca of La Jara, in the province of Toledo, the result of the merger of the old villages of Navalmoral de Pusa and Navalmoral de Toledo, agreed by their concejos, their town councils, in 1833 and constituted in 1835; its church of Nuestra Señora de la Antigua, of the eighteenth century, is topped by a tower thirty-two metres high designed in 1632 by Fray Lorenzo de San Nicolás and visible from across the Pusa floodplain, and it also preserves the fountain of the Seis Caños, of the seventeenth century, and the ruins of the mining settlement of Herrera.
Church of Nuestra Señora de la Antigua
Monument
An 18th-century church with three naves of Baroque character and a tower thirty-two metres high, whose design is owed to Friar Lorenzo de San Nicolás from 1632 onwards.
Spring of los Seis Caños
Monument
A 17th-century fountain fed by underground aquifers, with six spouts that supplied the town for centuries.
Ruins of the Capuchin Convent
Monument
Remains of an 18th-century convent whose surroundings have been laid out as a public park.
Ruins of Herrera
Monument
Remains of a depopulated mining settlement, dating from the late 12th century, in whose surroundings the old mining workings can still be made out. It is a small hamlet devoted to the extraction of metals and coal; once the area became depopulated, its custody passed into the hands of Los Navalmorales.
Mount Cuervo
Nature
Rise of 838 metres about four and a half kilometres south-east of the town, the highest point in the municipal district.
Fair of Artesanía de La Jara y Montes de Toledo
Activity
The Feria de Artesanía de La Jara y Montes de Toledo is held in Los Navalmorales, the head town of the comarca of La Jara (Toledo), from 15 to 18 August. Declared an official fair of Castilla-La Mancha, it brings together craftspeople and producers from the comarca every year for days of exhibition and direct sale of their products.
The union of the two Navalmorales
Historical milestone
Until the nineteenth century there were two neighbouring and independent villages, Navalmoral de Pusa and Navalmoral de Toledo. Their councils agreed unanimously on the merger on 23 September 1833 and raised the petition to the king; the single municipality was constituted in 1835.
The tower of friar Lorenzo de San Nicolás
Monument
The tower of thirty-two metres that crowns the parish church is due to the design that fray Lorenzo de San Nicolás, one of the most widely read architectural theorists of the Spanish Baroque, gave for the temple in 1632. It is the landmark visible from all over the vega of the Pusa.
