Image of Zorita de la Frontera, not of the place itself.

The place name may have an Arabic origin with the meaning of blue dove, and appears as Çurita in medieval documents; the addition of «de la Frontera» recalls that in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries the village marked the Leonese boundary against Castile.
