Illescas, Toledo
Illescas is a town and municipality of Spain located in the province of Toledo, Castilla–La Mancha. The municipality spans across a total area of 56.75 km2 and, as of 1 January 2020, it has a registered population of 30,229, which makes it the third most populated municipality in the province. It belongs to the traditional ''comarca'' of La Sagra. Name The first name reported in the middle ages was that of ''Elesches''. Ensuing variations include ''Ilesches'', ''Ilescas'', ''Ailescas'', ''Hilesques'', ''Ylesches'' and ''Hylesques''. A tentative identification with ''Egelesta'', mentioned in classical sources such as Ptolemy, has been proposed. It may be thus related to the Iberian-Basque 'egi-' ("hill line", "hillside"), whereas other authors relate ''Illescas'' to the proto-indoeuropean 'il' ("city"). History Placed within the municipal limits to the southwest of the town, El Cerrón archaeological site was a Carpetani settlement. Illescas was acquired by Alfonso VII fr ...
