Alcalá
de Henares, meaning Citadel on the river Henares, is a Spanish city whose historical
centre is one of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites, and one of the first bishoprics
founded in Spain. Located in the Autonomous Community of Madrid, 35 km northeast of the city
of Madrid, at an altitude of 588
metres (1929
ft ) above sea level, it has a population of around
200,000, the second largest of the region after the Spanish capital itself. The
city is generally known simply as "Alcalá", but "de
Henares" is often appended to differentiate it from a dozen cities sharing
the name Alcalá .The Latin name,
Complutum, is sometimes used also and the city is capital of its namesake
region, Comarca de Alcalá.
