Las Navas del Marqués is a municipality of Spain belonging to the province of Ávila, in the autonomous community of Castile and León.
Geography
The settlement is located to the south of the Sierra de Malagón (the westernmost subrange of the Sierra de Guadarrama), a string of elevations with relatively gentle slopes (including the Navazuelo; 1642 metres above sea level) separating the watersheds of the Douro and the Tagus.[2]
History
Las Navas became a secular lordship under the House of Dávila in 1372, during the Trastámara dynasty.[3][4] Following the creation of the Marquisate of Las Navas in 1533, the building of the castle-palace and the convent of San Pablo took place in Las Navas.[5] The marquisate's jurisdiction spanned across a territory over 378.67 km2 in area including the places of Navalperal, Hoyo de Pinares, Valdemaqueda, Robledo de Chavela, and Pelayos de la Presa.[6]
