Battle of Vernissa

Historical milestone · Gandia, La Safor, Valencia

Image of Gandia, not of the place itself.

In July 1521 the Germanía militias of Vicent Peris defeated beside the river Vernissa the noble troops that were defending Gandia. Duke Joan de Borja fled and the city was sacked: it was the high point of the Germanías in the south of the kingdom.
