Cazorla

Cazorla lies beneath the forested mountains of eastern Andalusia, guarded by the castle of La Yedra. In the thirteenth century the surrounding lands became an ecclesiastical lordship of the archbishops of Toledo, known as the Adelantamiento of Cazorla. During the Castilian civil war the town remained loyal to Peter I while the archbishop supported his rival. Its castle was repaired and given a new keep in the early fifteenth century.
