Talavera de la Reina is a city and municipality of Spain, part of the autonomous community of Castile–La Mancha. Its population of 83,303 makes it the second most populated municipality of the province of Toledo and the fourth largest in the region.
Although the city straddles both banks of the Tagus, a few kilometres downstream from the junction of the former with the Alberche, most of the urbanisation concentrates on the right (northern) bank. There are two islands in the centre of the city called Isla Grande and Chamelo Island. Three bridges cross the Tagus in Talavera.
While there are pre-Roman archaeological materials in the surroundings associated to the Vettones and the culture of verracos, the urban settlement is dated after Roman subjugation, with the development of a city identified with Caesarobriga by the gathering of indigenous peoples removed from their hilltop settlements (castros).
The city is well known for its pottery craft. The Talavera de la Reina pottery was declared intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO in 2019.
