Image of Cariñena, not of the place itself.

The troops of Peter I of Castile took the town in 1363, during the War of the Two Peters. The chronicler Jerónimo Zurita wrote that the Castilian king ordered all who defended it put to the sword, an episode that ruined the settlement and forced its defenses to be rebuilt.
