Good to know about Alcalá de Henares

Alcalá’s Roman predecessor, Complutum, was a planned town with a street grid, public baths, civic buildings and drainage infrastructure. Its archaeological remains lie southwest of the historic centre. Modern construction partly destroyed the site before systematic excavation revealed substantial evidence of Roman administration, domestic architecture and urban services.

Miguel de Cervantes was born in Alcalá de Henares and baptized in its parish church of Santa María la Mayor on 9 October 1547. The baptismal record provides a firm documentary date. His commonly stated birthday, 29 September, is instead an inference from the feast of Saint Michael and his given name.

A local legend associates the Christian capture of Alcalá’s Muslim fortress with a luminous cross appearing above the Ecce Homo hill. According to the story, the apparition encouraged the besiegers to launch their decisive assault in 1118. The hill remains part of the landscape overlooking the ruined fortress of Alcalá la Vieja.

Don Juan en Alcalá began in 1984 as an outdoor staging of José Zorrilla’s Don Juan Tenorio around All Saints’ Day. Early performances moved between locations in the historic centre. Growing audiences subsequently led to productions in the Archbishop’s Palace gardens, turning the play into a recurring civic theatrical tradition.
