Almodóvar del Campo – Culture, Nature and Holiday Apartments

In Almodóvar del Campo, the Encierros were recognised in 1991 as an event of regional tourist interest; they are among the oldest in Spain. Known as the Feria de Marzo, the event draws on a historic livestock-trading tradition that has existed since the 13th century.

Culture and History

The Church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción has been recognised as a Bien de Interés Cultural since 1992. It was built as a mosque and converted into a Christian church after the conquest. Its features include a monumental Mudéjar wooden ceiling from the 15th century.

Sisapo was one of the largest mining centres of antiquity and the capital of Hispano-Roman cinnabar. The Museo Palmero preserves a faithful reconstruction of the artist’s summer studio, complete with his original easels, palettes and brushes.
