New Town of Castellar de la Frontera · Castellar de la Frontera

Castellar "the new" contrasts with its namesake in the mountains. While the old Muslim village is located inside the fortress, the new village is modern, with wide streets, avenues, large green areas and advanced social services. In 1968, the Colonization Institute expropriated 700 hectares of La Almoraima S.A., owned by the Ducal House of Medinaceli, to create a colonization village. In 1971, the new Castellar was completed, where the former residents moved in. This change marked a new stage, with extensions that have benefited the community. It stands out for the whiteness of its houses and gardens, being an ideal place for development and prosperity.
