iudad Real (Spanish for: Royal City) is a city in Castilla-La Mancha, Spain. It is the capital of the province of Ciudad Real. Durind the Middle ages, four kilometres of walls and one hundred and thirty towers protected a population made up of Christians, Moors and Jews. After the unification of the peninsular Kingdoms under the Catholic Monarch, Ciudad Real became the capital of the province of La Mancha in the 17th century. This fact favoured its economic development which was spilled into important buildings. The city was founded by king Alfonso X in the 13th century to fight against the Military Order of Calatrava. Its population is 70,124, which is about an eight of the population of the province. The city was surrounded by walls. Nowadays, there are only two parts of the wall left. "Don Quixote's Museum" is situated next to "Parque de Gasset". It's dedicated to the important figure of "Don Quixote". It has a lot of works of art. In the museum there are a lot of rooms....: the showroom, which shows 10 character busts relationated with "Don Quixote". These busts seem to talk to each other: a library, which has an amount of 3500 books, and it also holds a consulting room; an artroom, which shows 10 pictures painted by José Jiménez Aranda; a projection room, where you can see videos and films about "Don Quixote" and a multipurpose room which has a capacity of 90 people.
