Vall de Laguar, la

Image of Vall de Laguar, la, not of the place itself.

Thousands of Moriscos who refused to embark took refuge in November 1609 in the crags of the valley, under the leadership of the so-called king Mellini. The army's siege and the lack of water put an end to the last focus of armed resistance in the kingdom of Valencia.
