Historical milestone · Jorquera, La Manchuela, Albacete

Image of Jorquera, not of the place itself.

Alfonso VIII took from the Almohads the fortified crag in the meander of the Júcar in a swift raid of 1211; the stronghold lost and recovered, Castilian control was secured after Las Navas de Tolosa and the town was governed by the fuero of Cuenca.
