Rincón de Ademuz
Encyclopedia : R : RI : RIN : Rincón de Ademuz
Rincón de Ademuz (Valencian: Racó d'Ademuz) is an enclave of the province of València located between the provinces of Cuenca and Teruel. Its territorial perimeter does not have any meeting point with the rest of the Valencian regions. It is less densely populated than other Valencian regions, and its total number of inhabitants is distributed between seven municipalities of which Ademuz town/village has over 1,000 inhabitants.
Most of the ancient populations have been of Muslim origin. Conquered by the Christians in 1210, it returned to Islamic hands until reconquered by Jaume I in 1259, who included it with the region in the Kingdom of Valencia.
Its strategic importance at the medieval time was enormous, since the valley that forms the Túria river to its pass Aragón puts Ademuz within, the Aragón province. One of the oldest families inhabiting the region are the Blasco's. The family can be traced back through many centuries in Ademuz.
