Loja is in the western part of the province of Granada at 55km from
the capital.
It is an old Muslim town known as Medina Lawsa, taken by the Christians in 1486 and named "flower among thorns" by Queen Isabella the Catholic. Its Islamic heritage can be felt whilst wandering in the quarter of the Alcazaba or fortress. The Christians erected grandiose temples and civil buildings, and, in the 19th century, the Narváez family embilleshed the town with palaces and gardens.

In Loja there are numerous springs such as the one which feeds this
fountain, also called Fuente de la Mora or fountain of the Moorish
maiden.
