Historical milestone · Híjar, Bajo Martín, Teruel

Image of Híjar, not of the place itself.

In 1483 the Catholic Monarchs raised the lordship of Híjar to the category of a duchy. The ducal house made the town the head of an extensive noble estate that was not broken up until the sale of its possessions in 1826.
