On 16 July 1212, the Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa changed the course of Spanish history after the confrontation between the Christian Kings and the Muslim Caliph of Al-Andalus. The location of Santa Elena, next to the Despeñaperros Natural Park, at the entrance to the province of Jaen from the north, evokes that transcendental battle.

Program

The exhibition centre is located next to the battlefield, 500 metres from the Autovía de Andalucía (Andalusian motorway) and presents the events with great historical rigour in an original and didactic way.
