History

It is located in the north of the province on the border with the province of Soria, and its importance is linked to its role as main crossroads. Its main street (Calle Real, Royal Street) was the old main road between Madrid and Barcelona, and Alcolea was the junction point to the road to Teruel and southern Aragon. Moreover, a little northward, in the municipality of Medinaceli, there is another main junction, this one heading north, towards Soria, representing the main access from Madrid to La Rioja and Navarre. As a result, Alcolea del Pinar has been an important hub for the road-related services, with a relatively large Guardia Civil (rural police) station, devoted to traffic control, and a base of the Ministry of Public Works, for the maintenance works of the A-2 highway (Madrid-Barcelona). Currently, the new high-speed rail line between Madrid and Barcelona goes just by side of the town, parallel to the A-2 highway. As a matter of fact, Alcolea del Pinar is situated at the highest point of the A-2 highway between Madrid and Barcelona (1200 meters above sea level, 3600 feet.

What to visit

Iglesia parroquial de Nuestra Señora del Rosario, se ubica en la parte alta de la población. Se trata de un edificio sencillo, de una sola nave con una torre rematada con un chapitel metálico y un bonito atrio. Fue levantado en el siglo XIX ya que el templo original fue destruido durante las guerras carlistas.

Casa de Piedra, vivienda excavada en una roca de arenisca realizada por Lino Bueno, a principios del siglo XX. Tardó diecisiete años en realizar la obra, según informaba el diario El Imparcial del 11 de enero de 1925; se realizó a golpe de pico y alumbrándose con teas hasta lograr varias habitaciones. El motivo no era otro que la carencia de recursos para alquilar una vivienda.

Museo del Cemento, con esculturas realizadas con cemento y hierro por Máximo Rojo.

Galería de arte de Antonio García Perdices.
