UThPb monazite dating by electron microprobe has been applied to three peraluminous granitic intrusions of the western Montes de Toledo batholith (MTB). Back scattered electron images of monazite crystals reveal a variety of internal textures: patchy zoning, overgrowths around older cores and unzoned crystals. On the basis of their zoning pattern and chemical composition, two monazite domains can be distinguished: (1) corroded cores and crystals with patchy zoning, exhibiting relatively constant Th/U ratios and broadly older ages, and (2) unzoned grains and monazite rims, with variable Th/U ratios and younger ages. The first monazite group represents inherited domains from metamorphic sources, which accounts for pre-magmatic monazite growth events. Two average ages from Torrico and Belvis de Monroy granites (333 +/- 18 and 333 +/- 5Ma, respectively) relate these cores to a Visean extensional deformation phase. The second group represents igneous monazites which have provided the following crystallization ages for the host granite: 298 +/- 11Ma (Villar del Pedroso), 303 +/- 6Ma (Torrico) and 314 +/- 3Ma (Belvis de Monroy). Two main magmatic pulses, the first about 314Ma and the second at the end of the Carboniferous (303-298Ma), might be envisaged in the western MTB. While Belvis de Monroy leucogranite is likely a syn- to late-tectonic intrusion, the Villar del Pedroso and Torrico plutons represent post-tectonic magmas with emplacement ages similar to those of equivalent intrusions from nearby Variscan magmatic sectors.
