LOJA : Town in the Area of Granada, Spain |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
||||||
|
Introduction : |
||||||
|
In a narrow valley dominated by the barren limestone massif of the Sierra de Loja, this small town - divided in two by the Genil river - is situated on the western edge of the fertile vega (plain) of Granada, with its undulating countryside of olive groves and cereal fields |
||||||
|
History: |
||||||
|
Occupying what was historically an important strategic position, Loja acted as a defensive centre under the Moors, who exploited the town's geographical location to guard the plain. Its military significance as a Moorish stronghold can be seen today in the remnants of walls and a tower of the former Islamic Alcazaba (citadel). |
||||||
|
Places to Visit: |
||||||
|
A few kilometres outside Loja on the Río Genil are a series of waterfalls that have been designated a protected area, Los Infiernos de Loja Natural Monument, a pleasant shady spot for a riverside picnic. |
