Plaza Mayor, Almagro, Castilla- La Mancha
The Plaza Mayor is long and impressive. It dates to the times of the Order of Calatrava in the thirteenth century. It soon became very important as the court of Alfonso X. At the end of the sixteenth centuries big changes were under foot. The Fúcar were a banking family who provided economic support to the area and stuck up a lot of buildings, including the glass windowed sides of the Plaza. These were restored in the sixties.
The building at the top end with the clock is the Town Hall.
