Brunete

This town of 11,000 inhabitants (2023), located 35 kilometres west of Madrid, invites you to discover a rich historical and cultural heritage combined with an enviable natural environment.

Founded in the Middle Ages by the city of Segovia, Brunete has lived a rich history marked by different events. In the Revolt of the Comuneros it rebelled against Charles V and, already in the 20th century, during the Spanish Civil War it was the scene of the Battle of Brunete, one of the most important of the conflict.

The plaza Mayor of Brunete, in the Escurialense style, is one of the most emblematic places in the municipality. It stands out for its arcades with granite columns, the stone fountain in the center and the staircase that connects it to the church.

The church of Our Lady of the Assumption, also in the Escurialense style, forms a beautiful architectural complex with the Plaza Mayor. It was rebuilt in the 19th century after a fire.

The municipality of Brunete is home to fourteen well-preserved forts, built during the Spanish Civil War. These forts, connected by underground passages and trenches, are included in the Catalogue of Protected Properties.

Brunete is surrounded by an enviable natural environment, ideal for lovers of hiking and cycling. The Guadarrama River, the holm oak groves of the Alberche and Cofio Rivers and the Charco Poleo wetland are some of the most notable places.
