Guadalupe

Today: Spain

Years: 1492–1833
Role: Town of the Hieronymite shrine and monastery

The puebla of Guadalupe grew up under the shelter of the shrine, whose prior, the "Señor de la Puebla", governed it until 1820, when the first town council was formed. The Hieronymite monks kept the monastery from 1389 to 1835. It belonged to the Tierras de Talavera and to New Castile until it joined the province of Cáceres in 1833.
