First mention of Almussafes

Historical milestone · Almussafes, La Ribera Baixa, Valencia

Image of Almussafes, not of the place itself.

An Arabic chronicle of the twelfth century records the first notice of the place, whose name alludes to a resting point half a day's journey along the road. That function as a stop on the route towards the south shaped its development until the arrival of industry.
