Arrixaca
Arrixaca (later San Esteban) was an ''arrabal'' (suburb) of Murcia, although it is now in the centre of the expanded city. It is the site of the Al-Andalusian palatial complex and neighborhood of San Esteban. Etymology The name may have Basque- Navarrese origins, similar to place names like Arriyaga, Arrillaga, Arrixaga, or Arrixaca. Linguistically, it could mean "place of stones. History Islamic Era This residential area had access to water from the Acequia Mayor Aljufía irrigation canal. In medieval times, the canal ran along the northern side of the walled city of Murcia, outside the Arab Walls of Murcia. This facilitated the development of Arrixaca, where wealthy Andalusian families established their almunias thanks to the availability of water. It is no coincidence that rulers like Ibn Mardanis (12th century) and Ibn Hud (13th century) built their recreational palaces in this area, drawing water directly from the Aljufía.

Our Lady Of Arrixaca
Our Lady of Arrixaca (Spanish: ''Virgen de la Arrixaca'') is a Marian devotion originating in Murcia, Spain, venerated in the capital since the 13th century. The image of this Virgin is a polychrome wooden carving from the late Romanesque art, Romanesque period, dating back to the 12th century. However, almost nothing remains of the original sculpture due to multiple restorations over time. Her feast day is celebrated on the last Sunday of May, commemorating the entry of Infante Alfonso (later Alfonso X of Castile), son of Ferdinand III of Castile, into the city of Murcia on May 1, 1243. This peaceful entry followed the Treaty of Alcaraz, an agreement made with the successors of Ibn Hud, the last true Arab emir of Murcia. Legendary origin The name ''Santa María de la Arrixaca'' comes from the Arrixaca suburb outside the city walls, where she was originally worshiped. There is historical debate regarding whether the image was already in Murcia when Alfonso X arrived or if he ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Church Of San Andrés (Murcia)
The Church of San Andrés is one of the traditional parish churches in the historic center of Murcia, Spain, located in the San Andrés neighborhood, in the Plaza de San Agustín. The parish dates back to shortly after the Conquest of Murcia, originally located outside the city's walls in the suburb of Arrixaca. However, the current church was originally the conventual church of the Augustinians, which, after the Ecclesiastical confiscations of Mendizábal, was repurposed several times until, in 1886, it became the parish church of San Andrés due to the poor condition of the previous parish church, located on Calle San Andrés, which no longer exists today. History The parish of San Andrés emerged in the northwestern sector of the arrabal of the Arrixaca. Following the James I of Aragon's Conquest of Murcia in February 1266, Alfonso X of Castile assigned this district to the Mudéjars. However, many of its inhabitants emigrated to the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada, and by 127 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

It is one of the most representative irrigation systems in the country. While the Aljufía supplies the orchards on the northern side of the Segura—running parallel to it—the Acequia Mayor Alquibla serves those on the south. The name "Aljufía" comes from the Arabic ''al-Yawfiyya'', meaning "the northern one." Characteristics The canal takes its water—like the Alquibla—from the so-called ''Azud Mayor'' or Contraparada, located between the villages of Javalí Nuevo and Javalí Viejo, at the point where the Segura enters the Guadalentín Valley. It supplies water to the entire Northern Major Irrigation Area, just as the Alquibla provides for the Southern Major Irrigation Area. The canal extends for 27 kilometers—compared to the 22 kilometers ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Protectorate
A protectorate, in the context of international relations, is a State (polity), state that is under protection by another state for defence against aggression and other violations of law. It is a dependent territory that enjoys autonomy over most of its internal affairs, while still recognizing the suzerainty of a more powerful sovereign state without being a possession. In exchange, the protectorate usually accepts specified obligations depending on the terms of their arrangement. Usually protectorates are established de jure by a treaty. Under certain conditions—as with History of Egypt under the British#Veiled Protectorate (1882–1913), Egypt under British rule (1882–1914)—a state can also be labelled as a de facto protectorate or a veiled protectorate. A protectorate is different from a colony as it has local rulers, is not directly possessed, and rarely experiences colonization by the suzerain state. A state that is under the protection of another state while retai ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
