The town dates probably from the V century BC. The Romans built a fortress as it was on the route to Lusitania from Toledo. It was conquered by the Arabs in the VIII century who built three lines of walls, only one still partially remaining. Reconquered by King Alphonse VI in the XI century it was a prosperous merchant site due to its privileged position on the Tagus River. The ceramic of Talavera, which rivals that of Limoges in France, was declared in November 2023 a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage.
