Pantoja
Village
Pantoja is a municipality of La Sagra, in Toledo, with 3,536 inhabitants, whose name may derive from an early owner of the hamlet, already documented in Mozarabic texts of the 12th and 13th centuries. It is cited as a hamlet of Toledo in 1173 and acquired the title of town in 1628, with its own jurisdiction that included gallows, pillory, jail, stocks and whipping post; its coat of arms features bell-beaker pottery, traditional in the town, its Mozarabic heritage and cereal farming. It preserves the church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, documented since medieval times, and holds a carnival known as La Tortilla, as well as a Cross de la Cerámica (pottery run) on 15 April and its patronal festivities in honour of Santa Bárbara.
