The forced conversion of the Mudejars

Historical milestone · Ulea, Valle de Ricote, Murcia

Image of Ulea, not of the place itself.

The Mudejars of the valley were forced to be baptized between 1501 and 1502 and passed to the condition of Moriscos. The mosques were converted into Christian churches, as happened in Ulea with the church of San Bartolomé, and the community kept its language, trades and customs for more than a century.
