The death of Almanzor

Historical milestone · Medinaceli, Tierra de Medinaceli, Soria

Image of Medinaceli, not of the place itself.

The Cordoban leader died in 1002 in Medinaceli on returning from his last campaign and was buried in the town; the legend of the defeat at Calatañazor, much later, does not appear in the contemporary Arabic chronicles.
