The end of Arab rule was achieved thanks to the decisive action of the Military Order of San Juan, the only Order that depended directly on the Pontiff, unlike the others who obeyed the orders of the monarch. The influence of the Order of San Juan in Alc\u00e1zar remain in the name &#8220;San Juan&#8221; and one of the most important historic buildings, the <em>Torre\u00f3n<\/em> of the Grand Prior of the thirteenth century. In the seventeenth century, Alc\u00e1zar was noted for being the place where they were exiled Don Juan Jos\u00e9 de Austria, the illegitimate son of Philip IV and his mother <em>La Calderona<\/em>. However, if anything characterizes Alc\u00e1zar de San Juan, like many other towns of La Mancha, it is its link with <em>El Quijote<\/em>, through the discovery of an act of baptism of a certain Miguel de Cervantes, who, though only a namesake of the famous author&#8217;s work, served to advertise the country as a possible birthplace of Cervantes.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alc\u00e1zar de San Juan Is a town of the province of Ciudad Real (Castilla La Mancha).
