History

The name La Granja evokes to the concept of a farm. It is probable that it makes reference to its relation with the town of Granadilla first, and to Abadía later. It supposed a base of exploitation and supply for these populations, so related to the duchy of the House of Alba in its settling and exploitation after the called Reconquista. These lands, have been a transit point of so many historical settlements between the Castilian and Extremadurian plateau, and therefore of many warlike skirmishes, preserving signs like the fortresses or traces of their stay.

In the town is located, a Roman milestone, with a Latin inscription that attests to the Roman presence and makes reference with traits of divinity to the Roman emperor in charge at that moment. Even so, the most prominent building in the town is the Catholic church. According to inscriptions on its walls, the construction of the building is oriented to the 16th century, the year 1544 is chiseled in one of the stirrups of the northern part and the year 1597 in the base of the church.
