Expulsion of the Moriscos from the somontano

Historical milestone · Novallas, Tarazona y el Moncayo, Zaragoza

Image of Novallas, not of the place itself.

The Mudéjar and later Morisco community of Novallas maintained and extended the system of irrigation channels of the Queiles until the expulsion decree of 1610 emptied the place of almost three hundred households. The loss of labour ruined the irrigated agriculture.
