Why is it masculine?

Lugares is masculine because it derives from Latin "localis" (originally an adjective meaning "of a place"), which was nominalized and evolved into the Spanish masculine noun "lugar." The masculine gender was inherited from Latin, where "localis" was associated with the masculine noun "locus" (place). In Spanish, words ending in "-ar" are typically masculine, which reinforces this gender assignment.
