Habsburg and Bourbon Spain

Calahorra

Today: Spain

Years: 1492–1833
Role: Episcopal seat with an Inquisition tribunal

The head of the diocese, it saw the expulsion of the Jews in 1492 and housed a tribunal of the Inquisition; having lost its frontier role, it ceased to be the first city of the region in favour of Logroño. In 1672 it had 1600 households, was walled with four gates and had, besides the cathedral, four parishes and three convents. The 18th century was prosperous, and in 1822 it joined the province of Logroño.
