Yecla receives the title of city

Historical milestone · Yecla, Altiplano, Murcia

Image of Yecla, not of the place itself.

By royal decree, Alfonso XII granted Yecla in 1878 the title of city, recognition of the demographic and economic growth reached during the 19th century, a few years before the narrow-gauge railway arrived in the town.
