This article appears in Volume V04, Page 923 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BUN-CAL
CABRA , a town of southern Spain, in the province of
Cordova
 ; 28 m. S.E. by S. of
Cordova
 , on the Jaen-Malaga railway. Pop. (1900) 13,127. Cabra is built in a fertile valley between the Sierra de Cabra and the Sierra de Montilla, which together form the watershed between the rivers Cabra and Guadajoz. The town was for several centuries an episcopal see. Its
chief
  buildings are the
cathedral
 , originally a mosque, and the ruined castle, which is the
chief
  among many interesting
relics
  of Moorish
rule
 . The neighbouring fields of clay afford material for the manufacture of bricks and pottery; coarse cloth is
woven
  in the town; and there is a considerable
trade
  in farm produce. Cabra is the Roman Baebro or Aegabro. It was delivered from the Moors by Ferdinand III. of Castile in 1240, and entrusted to the Order of Calatrava ; in 1331 it was recaptured by the Moorish king of
Granada
 ; but in the following century it was finally reunited to Christian Spain.
