Torres Albarranas of the Queen's Talavera.
This characteristic construction embedded to the first walled enclosure made Talavera to be considered as one of the surest cities during centuries, being a clear fortification example. Built in masonry with seat in the corners and in their high arches, these enormous towers of rectangular plant allowed to reflect under them the moat, and their fronts were linked with another defensive parallel enclosure to the main one whose name is barbacana. Originariamente was built forty seven and all the sources indicate that they are of Christian origin lifted in the XIII century.
They are conserved Torres Albarranas of the streets of Butcher shops, Sliding of the Christ (in their interior he/she lodges the chapel of the "Christ of the Merchants") and Charcón. Talavera's shield picks up as more specific symbol of the city the Tower Albarrana |

Before such a problem, the ecclesiastical authorities of the time ordered the construction of platforms to distribute overflowing jars of crystalline waters coming from the mentioned wells.Referred to this tradition their own myth or legend that it counts us also exists how centuries ago, come people of all the towns of surroundings, forming a great tumult in this commemoration of the Patron toledana, they attended the festival rites and religious. Finished the party of the afternoon, the multitude began to parade slowly outside of the cathedral, increasing in a remarkable way the sensation of suffocating heat characteristic of August 15. The unique son of one of the assistants to such an act, suffered a sudden dissipation for such heats and difficulties, believing all those that saw him/her that he had died for such and like it was. Some ran of those that there were to for the water of the wells of the cathedral that was heady in a sudden way on the boy, which recovered the habitual aspect in an immediate way. The town, very given to attribute this type of events to the divine hand, it "attributed the result to the prompt application of the water that you/they called of the Virgin, for this cause, and to distribute it in the mentioned" festivity. There is also another legend, good known for the toledanos that counts how the image of the Virgin of the Sacrarium, during the reconquest of the city for Alfonso VI in the 1085, it was rescued of the well of the cloister where there it was hidden to protect it of the Muslim (coming from the Visigothic previous church that rose in this same place) invasion and starting from that moment these waters have recreated numerous miracles and cures for that that consumes it |
