From Egelesta to Illescas

Historical milestone · Illescas, La Sagra, Toledo

Image of Illescas, not of the place itself.

The place name has been linked to Egelesta, a city that Ptolemy placed in Carpetania in the second century. The proposed evolution runs through Elesta, Elescas and Ilescas to the present form, which points to a settlement earlier than the arrival of Rome.
