Conquest of Sollana by Ximén de Urrea

Historical milestone · Sollana, La Ribera Baixa, Valencia

Image of Sollana, not of the place itself.

The troops commanded by Ximén de Urrea occupied in 1238 this place on the shore of the Albufera, whose name derives from a Roman villa of one Sulius. The irrigation of the marsh afterwards allowed rice growing to be extended here.
