Taracena is a village (pedanía) belonging to the municipality of Guadalajara, Spain. It lies near the A-2.[1]
The area of Taracena has been often identified (including by Adolf Schulten) as the location of Caraca, the city besieged and subjugated by Quintus Sertorius in the 1st century BCE.
A former municipality, Taracena was absorbed by the provincial capital in 1969, together with Valdenoches and Iriépal.
