Image of Herguijuela, not of the place itself.

The place name Herguijuela appears to derive from the Latin term "ecclesia" (church). A white marble Visigothic gravestone has been preserved here, bearing the funerary inscription of Gunthoerta, "handmaid of God", who lived thirty-five years and "rested in peace" on April 28 of the year 618, testimony to the Christian presence in the comarca in the Visigothic period.
