In Villafranca del Castillo we are proud to inhabit an area with history, located in the enclave of a medieval castle.
Villafranca was born as a village at the foot of the castle of Aulencia. The area was a royal hunting ground for the House of Trastámara. In the year 1455 Juan II freed the place from taxes and established that the fortification and the small hamlet that emerged at its feet would bear the name of Villafranca del Castillo.
In the 1970s, the areas surrounding the castle were recovered and what we know today as Villafranca del Castillo residential area emerged, a summer destination for many Madrid families.
