Uclés is a municipality of Spain located in the province of Cuenca, Castilla–La Mancha.

[2] The municipality spans across a total area of 64.61 km2 and, as of 1 January 2020, it has a registered population of 212.

[2] The fortress and town was probably built by al-Fath ibn Musa ben Zennun circa the late 9th to early 10th century, becoming the al-Fath's main stronghold after his father's death in 908.

[3] Having submitted to the Cordobese central authority by the 920s,[4] the rebellious Banu Zennun (later arabised to 'Dhi-l Nun') clan was removed from the place by 936, although Uclés returned to their control in 1018.

[3] The place passed to Christian control in the wake of the conquest of the Taifa of Toledo in 1085 and then was lost a year after following the Battle of Sagrajas.
