The 1876 railway

Historical milestone · Illescas, La Sagra, Toledo

Image of Illescas, not of the place itself.

The first train reached Illescas on 20 June 1876 and connected the town with Madrid and with Toledo. The station was the lever of the industrialisation that, by the nineteen-sixties, sent the municipality's population soaring.
