MORON DE LA FRONTERA

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 861 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MOL-MOS
MORON DE LA FRONTERA , or Molten,' (anc. Arumi), a town of southern Spain, in the province of
Seville
 ; 32 M. S.E. of the city of
Seville
 . Pop. (1900) 14,190. Moron occupies an irregular site upon broken
chalk
  hillocks near the right bank of the Guadaira. It is connected by rail with
Utrera
  on the Cadiz & Seville line. On the highest
elevation
  to the eastward are the ruins of the ancient castle, of considerable importance during the Moorish period, when Moron, as its full name implies, was a frontier fortress; the castle was afterwards used as a palace by the
counts
  of Urena. In 1810-1811 it was fortified by the French, but blown up by them in the following year. The
chief
  public building of Moron is the large parish
church
 , which
dates
  from the 16th
century
 . Moron is alsc famous throughout Spain for its
marble
  and its
chalk
  (cal de Moron), from which the whitewash extensively used in the
Peninsula is derived.
