The most prized culinary element in Tur\u00f3n is its figs,<\/strong> eaten fresh or dried, and which are used in making pastries and fig bread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tur\u00f3n was established as a settlement during the Roman Empire, when it was known as \u201cTurobriga\u201d<\/em><\/strong> and was renowned for its lead mines, which are nowadays abandoned. It was part of the district of Taha del Gran Cehel under Moorish rule, when it was a prosperous and peaceful village, safeguarded by the protective hills which surround its urban area. The municipality of Tur\u00f3n was one of the few places where no violent acts were perpetrated against the Christians when the Rebellion of the Moors took place. Instead, the Morisco inhabitants of Tur\u00f3n, in spite of the fact that they joined in with the uprising, protected and accompanied their 18 Christian neighbours as far as the bridge at Adra in order to save their lives. Even so, this noble gesture did not prevent them from being slaughtered, and when the troops of Philip II arrived, the Moors were put to the sword. Following the Muslim defeat, this municipality was virtually abandoned, and was repopulated by settlers from other parts of Castile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
