Description

The castle of Alcocer was a fortified Muslim village located in the archaeological site of La Mora Encantada in the Aragonese municipality of Ateca, Zaragoza, Spain.

Located on the left bank of the river Jalón as well as Ateca and Terrer, this is one of the most important castles in the development of Cantar de Mio Cid. The facts that are narrated in the Cantar, are placed in the year 1081 during the campaigns realized by El Cid during his exile. Although these facts had not been documented reliable and believed to be the exclusive fruit of the literary source of the Cantar de Mio Cid, recent archaeological discoveries, linked to the narrated in the singing, above all, referring to the campaigns in the Jalón Valley, are beginning to rethink whether what is narrated in the singing is fiction or has a histologic origin.
