The Nasrid raid of Easter Sunday

Historical milestone · Cieza, Vega Alta del Segura, Murcia

Image of Cieza, not of the place itself.

Troops of the Nasrid kingdom of Granada stormed the town on Easter Sunday 1477, killed part of the inhabitants and carried off the rest as captives. Cieza was left deserted and had to be resettled with people from Jumilla; from that blow comes the motto "Por pasar la puente nos dieron la muerte".
