Guadalajara - Santa María de la Fuente la Mayor
Guadalajara was first mentioned as an Iberian foundation, later it was a Roman settlement under the name Arriaca. The city was refounded by the Arabs as Wadi al-Hijara. During the Muslim period an Alcázar was built by the mid-9th century. A bridge over the Henares river and the walls enclosing the city were also built by then.
Guadalajara was part of the territory annexed by Alfonso VI of León-Castile in 1085. The area was repopulated with people from the North. Alfonso VII granted Guadalajara its first chapter in 1133.
From 1441 to 1690 it was owned and controlled by the powerful Castilian noble house of Mendoza.
The co-cathedral "Santa María de la Fuente la Mayor" was built in the 14th century in the Mudejar style. Much of the church's exterior remains from the original construction
