O nosso pequeno grupo de "conquistadores" de Castelos parou no caminho para Belmonte na bela cidade de Ocaña. Não conhecia muito sobre a sua história mas como muitas terras de Castela está também associada ao nome de Isabel, a Católica. Começámos pela sua bela Plaza Mayor encerrada como a de Madrid com pequenas varandas e arcadas onde podemos ver lojas, restaurantes e também o posto de Turismo.
Our small group of Castles "conquerors" stopped on the way to Belmont in the beautiful city of Ocaña. Do not know much about its history but like many lands of Castile is also associated with the name of Isabella the Catholic. We started by its beautiful Plaza Mayor closed like the one in Madrid with small balconies and arcades where you can see shops, restaurants and also the Tourism post.

Construída durante o reinado de D. Carlos III foi palco de alguns acontecimentos históricos relevantes principalmente durante a Guerra da Independência em que uma parte do edificio do Ayuntamiento foi destruída na Batalha de Ocaña. Seguimos depois pela Calle Mayor até chegar ao Palácio de Don Gutierre de Cárdenas que não estava aberto porque funciona é também conhecido como Palácio da Justiça e deixam entrar mas apenas para ver o Pátio. Um local explicou-nos que ali tinha ficado hospedada a princesa Isabel antes de ser coroada Rainha de Castela, Cárdenas foi sempre um dos seus mais fieis conselheiros.
Seguimos pela rua Lope de la Vega onde está o Teatro com o mesmo nome do dramaturgo espanhol inaugurado em 1986 ocupando o antigo edificio do Colégio da Companhia de Jesus. No cruzamento com a Calle San Juan está um busto da Rainha Isabel, com a inscrição de que foi em Ocaña que se decidiu o seu casamento com Fernando de Aragão.
O último que vimos nesta cidade foi a Fuente Grande construída no século XVI e considerada uma colossal obra de engenharia hidráulica era uma zona de abastecimento de água com um grande tanque para lavar roupa. Almoçámos no Méson Carmelo e queremos voltar porque ainda não vimos tudo.
Built during the reign of King Carlos III was the scene of some important historical events especially during the War of Independence in which a part of the Ayuntamiento building was destroyed in the Battle of Ocaña. We followed later the Calle Mayor to reach the Palace of Don Gutierre de Cardenas that was not open because it's also known as the Palace of Justice and let in but only to see the courtyard. A local told us that there the Palace had hosted Princess Isabel before being crowned Queen of Castile, Cárdenas was always one of her most loyal advisers.
We walked by the Lope de la Vega street where the theater of the same name from the Spanish playwrighter opened in 1986 occupying the old building of the College of the Society of Jesus. At the intersection with Calle San Juan there is a bust of Queen Elizabeth, with the inscription that it was in Ocaña that her marriage to Ferdinand of Aragon was decided.
The last thing we saw of this city was the Fuente Grande built in the sixteenth century and considered a colossal work of hydraulic engineering was an area of water supply with a large tank for washing. We had lunch at Meson Carmel and want to come back because we have not seen everything.
