La creación de la sede episcopal de Eio

Historical milestone · Hellín, Campos de Hellín, Albacete

Image of Hellín, not of the place itself.

The Visigothic monarchy raised between the late 6th and early 7th centuries on the hill of the Tolmo de Minateda a new episcopal see, Eio, to serve the territories that depended on Ilici while it remained in Byzantine hands; with it came an ambitious urban plan and a three-nave basilica.
