Ciudad Real became the capital of La Mancha province in 1691. Historically, the city was protected by walls and towers; today, only two parts of the walls remain.

In 2009, the total population was approximately 74,014 inhabitants. The city is home to eighteen primary schools and six high schools. A stop on the AVE rail line has turned the area into a long-distance commuter suburb of Madrid.
