The Almodóvar del Campo Lagoon is a unique natural and geological feature located in the province of Ciudad Real, within the Campo de Calatrava region, famous for its volcanic landscapes. It is a lagoon formed in the crater of a volcano after a phreatomagmatic eruption (interaction between magma and groundwater). This type of lagoon is called a maar.

The monuments and centers of cultural interest are spread throughout its streets: the Palermo Museum, the Casa-Convent of La Merced, current home of the Hieronymite nuns, in a modernist style and dating back to the 19th century. Continuing the visit you can visit the Cervantina Library, inside which countless editions of Don Quixote are collected, in various languages, formats and periods, as well as canvases and drawings related to the Cervantine character. From here you can also see the Municipal Theater, built in 1845 on the site of the old Carmelite Convent.

In the Alcudia Valley, we find the municipality of Almodóvar del Campo built on the side of a volcano, so present in Campo de Calatrava, and whose crater is now a lagoon. The Arab footprint is the most emblematic of the city, leaving behind the memory of the Castle and above all the unique Parish of Our Lady of the Assumption. There you can see the first videomapping in Spain permanently installed in a closed space, under the theme of the life and work of San Juan de Ávila.

It is formed by a Strombolian volcanic cone of pyroclasts, and due to the quarry in it, its internal structure is exposed. Attached to the foot of this volcano is the Almodóvar maar, which is a phreatomagmatic explosion crater that erupted at the edge of the Paleozoic series, cutting a substrate of hard lithology and destroying part of the previous volcano. The maar crater is funnel-type (hard-type substrate) and houses an ephemeral lagoon inside. In its southern and eastern contour the maar has a ring of tuffs, with pyroclastic facies. The phreatomagmatic deposits of the maar ring are located on a Cenozoic red colluvium. The main interest is of a volcanological (petrological) type and as a secondary interest the geomorphological interest stands out.

It is a volcanic formation made up of a crater and the Cerro de los Molinos. The crater gives rise to the lagoon and the hill is composed of solid lava. It is located near Almodóvar del Campo, in an easterly direction and, according to historians, it gave origin and name to the settlement of the population.
