History

It was named Torrijos between 1495 and 1646, later being renamed Torrijo from 1713 to 1797, and adding del Campo from 1834. The placename derives from Latin, and means 'turret', which could mean that it was a border surveillance post in the various conflicts between the Crown of Aragon and the Crown of Castile.

Torrijo belonged to the sesma of the Jiloca river in the Community of Villages of Daroca and was recorded in the Archpriesthood of Daroca by 1280. It was assigned to Sobrecullida, Vereda and Corregimiento of Daroca at different times, being a village until 1711, a place in 1785 and a town belonging to the partido judicial of Calamocha since 1834.

The archaeological works carried out in the area confirmed the presence of ancient cultures, as in the case of Cerro del Moro, an area that was used as an old cemetery and where some pottery has been found. This oval-shaped settlement conserves as its only remnant a hollow in the rock that was possibly used as a cistern.

Archaeological remains have also been found in the area of the Eras where fragments of Iberian pottery were found, in the Masada area where medieval pottery was found or in the Iberian site of La Balseta. In addition, in 1996 a bronze plaque with an Iberian inscription was found on the road to Huertos Altos, which is called the Bronze of Torrijo. This finding was deposited for study at the Teruel Museum.

Another archaeological site of note is the uninhabited Villaverde, an Iberian town where fragments of Roman and medieval pottery have been found.

In addition, between Torrijo and Monreal del Campo there was a medieval town called Villacadima, of which several buildings are preserved including the stone markers that delimited it and on which its name is engraved. Villacadima was a stately place, belonging to the Catalan de Ocón family, which was not subject to royal or community law. For this reason, it often served as a refuge for criminals in the area. In 1311, and after the acquisition order of King James II, it was incorporated into the Community of Villages of Daroca. There is evidence that in the 14th century Villacadima had already disappeared, so its terms passed to the municipality of Monreal.
