Headquarter of the Temple Order de Calatrava in the XIV Century was later a very active cultural site since the German bankers Fugger beneficiaries of income from mines de Almadén established their business in Almagro, bringing with them crafts (such as bobbin) and culture. Nowadays, Almagro is the heart of the Classical Theater in Spain. The Palacio de los Condes de Valparaiso (XVII Century) will host this great event.
