The chronology and morphoeruptive evolution of the Columba and Cuevas volcanoes, located in the Eastern sector of the Campo de Calatrava Volcanic Field (Ciudad Real), are reviewed here. The methodology used is based on volcanostratigraphic analyses, geomorphological mapping and the applying radiocarbon (AMS) and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating techniques. The results obtained using such techniques reveal a post quem age between 75,24+4,8 y 75,08+5,17 ka BP for the beginning of the activity at the Cuevas volcano, while Columba is a polygenic volcano formed from two eruptions. The first one occurs after 33,9+2.36 ka BP and the second after a long period of inactivity of 10,000 years during which a palaeosol originates has a maximum age of 14-13,5 cal ka BP and a minimum of 6,2+2.4 ka BP, namely between the Upper Pleistocene – Holocene, which is yet to be determined.
