Alcalá de Henares Alcalá de Henares (] ), meaning "Citadel on the river Henares", in Arabic قلعة النار, is a Spanish city located 35 km northeast of the country's capital, Madrid. It stands out for its rich archaeology and was one of the first bishoprics founded in Spain. Locally, it is generally known simply as "Alcalá", but "de Henares" is appended when needed to differentiate it from a dozen Spanish cities sharing the name Alcalá (from the Arabic word "al-qal'a القلعة" for fortification or citadel). The Latin name, "Complutum", is sometimes used. The city is the capital of its namesake region, Comarca de Alcalá. Its historical centre is one of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites.
