Map of the comarca

Sierra de Francia Comarca (Spanish: Comarca de los Montes de Toledo) is a comarca of Castile and León located at the southern end of the province of Salamanca, Spain. It borders with the Las Hurdes and Las Batuecas comarcas of Extremadura to the south; the Campo Charro to the north and the Sierra de Béjar to the east. The region is sparsely inhabited and its few towns have great cultural value.

It is named after the Sierra de Francia mountain system of the Sistema Central.[1] Some of the towns of the comarca have been officially declared Conjunto Histórico-Artístico owing to their cultural and architectural value.[2]
