Salvatierra

Today: Spain

Years
1492–1833
Role
Town of the Llanada Alavesa

The lordship of the Ayala family over the town ended in 1521 with the execution of Count Pedro López de Ayala, who had risen against Carlos I, and on 17 July 1522 the emperor restored its status as a royal town. In August 1564, after a plague in May, a great fire destroyed it almost completely, except for the church of Santa María, an oven and a house.
