Mascaraque is a municipality located in the province of Toledo, Castile-La Mancha, Spain.

Its castle was built in the 14th century, and renovated in 1518 when it was turned into the fortress-palace of Juan de Padilla.

At that time locality acquired the category of villa that differentiated it from the nearby villages.

Today Mascaraque can testify to the urban aspirations characteristic of a villa, with its castle-fortress and several small palaces with distinctive shields.

During the invasion by the forces of Basilio (1837–1838), Mascaraque was the only population in the area which refused to give supplies requested by the Carlist generals, reason why the later government authorized them to include the phrase "They did not fear" in their coat of arms.
