Town Gate of Talamanca de Jarama

Highlight • Historical Site

The historic center of Talamanca de Jarama is one of the most interesting medieval ensembles in the Community of Madrid, boasting a rich heritage and a history dating back to the Iron Age.

It is associated with the ancient Roman city of Armántica and later became a fortified medina founded by Emir Muhammad I in 852 to protect the Jarama River route.
Muslim period: It reached its peak as a military and cultural center, with walls and a Koranic school.
Reconquest: In 1085, it fell into Christian hands and became an important commercial center under the Archbishopric of Toledo.
Later centuries: It preserves Roman, Visigothic, Arab, and Christian traces, giving it a unique character.

Talamanca del Jarama

Highlight • Settlement

Talamanca del Jarama is a haven of medieval history in the northern Madrid countryside. The Roman bridge built over the old course of the Jarama bears witness to this era.

During the Andalusian period it was a walled enclosure; several vestiges remain of its perimeter of more than 1,200 meters, as well as access doors.

Under Christian control, a charterhouse and a Romanesque church were built here, of which the apse remains standing. In addition, it has many more buildings.
