The verraco and the Order of Alcántara

Historical milestone · Rollán, Tierra de Ledesma, Salamanca

Image of Rollán, not of the place itself.

The town belonged to the Order of Alcántara, created in 1156 by knights from Salamanca: it paid the martiniega tax and received military protection in return. The cross of the order still appears in the sinister quarter of the municipal coat of arms.
