History

The name is of Iberian origin. At that time there were a lot of villages with names ending in "que".

After the reconquest of Toledo, the village belonged to the Knights Hospitaller.

Heraldry

The town has a coat of arms featuring three towers over a small mountain and a cannon.(see note1) The cannon symbolises the town's historical link with the artillery.(see note2)

Landmarks

Buildings of interest include:

  • the main square (Plaza Mayor)[2]
  • the church of the Assumption (Nuestra Señora de la Asunción), which dates from the 16th century.

Famous inhabitants

Francisco de Tembleque gave his name to the Aqueduct of Padre Tembleque in Mexico. This structure is now a World Heritage Site.[3]

Notes

1.^ In heraldry "escutcheon" would be a more precise translation of the Spanish term escudo than "coat of arms".
2.^ The village supplied saltpetre for making gunpowder.
