Talavera la Nueva is an ("administrative territorial entity below municipality") belonging to the municipality of Talavera de la Reina, Spain.[1]

History

Located 5 km away from the city proper of Talavera de la Reina, it was founded by the Instituto Nacional de Colonización (INC) during the Francoist dictatorship as a planned settlement oriented to cattle farming.[2] It was formally inaugurated on 5 October 1956 by the dictator, although colonizers already dwelled in the settlement since at least 2 or 3 years before the ceremony.[3]

Archeological site

The archeological site of the Roman Villa of El Saucedo is located in the area. A largely intact verraco was found in the former.[4]
