Borox
Village
Borox is a municipality in the comarca of La Sagra, in the province of Toledo, with 4306 inhabitants (INE 2025), whose name comes from the Arabic borox, 'towers'. Its origin dates back to the 8th-9th centuries, with the construction of the Castle of Mahul; in 1179 Alfonso VIII gave half of the town to his steward Rodrigo Gutiérrez and the other half to the Order of Calatrava, which came to control the whole place between 1191 and 1378. It was born as a wayside inn in the area known as La Alhóndiga for travellers heading to Toledo. It preserves the Baroque parish church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, the hermitage of the Virgen de la Salud, its patroness, whose feasts are celebrated on the first two weekends of May, and a 1796 town hall with three arches in the Mudejar style.
