The town of don Álvaro de Luna

Historical milestone · Escalona, Torrijos, Toledo

Image of Escalona, not of the place itself.

Juan II handed the town in 1423 to his favourite, the constable Álvaro de Luna, in exchange for Alfaro. The constable turned the fortress into a palatial residence and around 1436 planned the bridge over the Alberche, the river's only crossing between Ávila and Toledo.
