Ponferrada<\/b>\u00a0is a municipality and city in Spain, capital of the region of\u00a0Bierzo<\/a>, the town is located in the province of Le\u00f3n, in the autonomous region of Castilla y Le\u00f3n. It is located at the confluence of the rivers\u00a0Sil River<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Boeza<\/a>. It has a population of 68,121 inhabitants and is the second most important city in the province with a metropolitan area of 88,975 inhabitants.<\/p>\n Although there is evidence of settlement in the Neolithic (on the banks of the Sil), the Iron Age and the Roman period, it is not until the\u00a0XI century<\/a>\u00a0when we have documentary evidence. It was at the end of that century when bishop Osmundo de\u00a0Astorga<\/a>\u00a0ordered the construction of a bridge in the year 1082 for pilgrims from the\u00a0Camino de Santiago<\/a>, the difficulties involved in the passage of the\u00a0r\u00edo Sil<\/a>\u00a0at the previous pass, at the height of the current district of Compostilla. It was reinforced with iron, and this later gave its name to the town that grew up around it, on the banks of the river.\u00a0Sil River<\/a>. Another theory about the name of Ponferrada also comes from Pons Ferrata but with the translation of fortified bridge.<\/p>\n Soon the Church of San Pedro was founded in the year 1086 and around it arose \"La Puebla de San Pedro\", which is what Ponferrada was first called, to be called shortly after.\u00a0Ponte Ferrato<\/b>. It passed through several hands, first it was owned by the\u00a0Order of the Temple<\/a>, they were in charge of defending the road.<\/p>\n In 1180 the Leonese king\u00a0Ferdinand II of Le\u00f3n<\/a>\u00a0granted the town its first charters. During the 13th and 14th centuries, already walled in, the town began to grow and develop, as peasants, merchants and craftsmen appeared both inside the walls and in the surrounding area, in the shadow of the\u00a0camino<\/a>\u00a0 and which led to rapid and sustained growth. The wall has four entrance gates: El cristo, Parais\u00edn, Las nieves and Las eras. On the outskirts of the town there is a Jewish community.<\/p>\n When the order disappeared in 1312, they passed through the families of Osorio, or of the\u00a0Count of Lemos<\/a>\u00a0among others, until the\u00a0Catholic Monarchs<\/a>\u00a0claimed it as their own, following a dispute between the Count of Lemos and his son in the 16th century, which led to several battles in the castle, and the successive seizure and recovery of the square by each of them. Finally, the Catholic Monarchs decided that the castle and the town were their property, an act that put an end to the skirmishes. From then until the end of the Ancien R\u00e9gime, they proceeded to appoint a corregidor in the town; the first of these was Don Juan de Torres.<\/p>\n In 2008, the centenary of the granting of the title of city to Ponferrada was celebrated, coinciding with the centenary of the coronation of the Virgen de la Encina as patron saint of the region. The granting of the title of city was as follows:<\/p>\n On 4 September 1908 the King of Spain\u00a0Alfonso XIII<\/a>\u00a0granted Ponferrada the title of City.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
