The Cross of Caravaca



The Cross of Caravaca
The region of Murcia in southeastern Spain takes its name from the Latin word “Morus” meaning mulberry. The region was a thriving area of silk production for centuries. By the 13th century its territory was under the rule of the last Muslim Empire to rule in Southern Spain – the North African based Almohades
King Ferdinand III reclaimed the territory from the Moors in the name of Christianity in the 15th century.
