Habsburg and Bourbon Spain

Logroño

Today: Spain

Years: 1492–1833
Role: Provincial capital of 1833

In 1521 it withstood the siege by the troops of Francis I and Henri II of Navarre, and in 1523 Carlos I granted it three fleurs-de-lis for its coat of arms. A tribunal of the Inquisition was created in the city in 1570, and in 1822, during the Liberal Triennium, it became a provincial capital, a status it lost in 1823. In 1833 it became one again, this time for good.
