Lucena

Llucena lies in the upper valley of the river that bears its name, on the road into the mountains of Alcalatén. After the Christian conquest it formed part of the lordship of the Urrea family. In 1335 Toda Pérez d'Urrea granted a settlement charter to the Christians of Llucena, recognising a community established among the upland valleys. The town remained under noble lordship for centuries, its history bound to the castle and lands of Alcalatén.
