Liétor

Liétor (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈlje.toɾ]) is a municipality in Albacete, Castile-La Mancha, Spain,[1] located southeast of the Iberian peninsula, in the valley of the "Mundo" river.

It comprises the districts of Cañada de Tobarra, Casablanca, El Ginete, Híjar, Mullidar, Talave and La Alcadima.

Already in the pre-Roman times, small settlements of population and limited economic importance are found in the valley of the Mundo river.

The Arab knight whose objects were found in Los Infiernos, was probably spending long seasons warring and defending the territories of al-Andalus or trying to annex new ones.

It was their occupation to wage war and control the borders with neighboring Muslim kingdoms, and in exchange they were exempt from a large part of the taxes which they would have had to otherwise pay to the coffers of the "encomienda" (administrative unit).

Located in the Plaza Mayor (Major Square), the temple was probably raised on the site of another medieval building, from which only the tower is preserved.

The church also has a magnificent baroque organ, with a wooden box in rococo style, made in 1787 by the master Joseph Lopis.

Here, murals include saints, scenes, decoration, even the allegory of death, sometimes accompanied by exemplary sentences and verses.
