Alcañiz
Alcañiz (Spanish: [alkaˈɲiθ] ⓘ) is a town and municipality of Teruel province in the autonomous community of Aragon, Spain.It was conquered again by count Ramon Berenguer IV of Barcelona in 1157, and again lost, until it was finally recaptured by his son Alfonso II of Aragon.The last stretch between Tortosa and Sant Carles de la Ràpita was never completed before the line was terminated by RENFE in 1973.[3] In 1380, a few Jewish families, scattered in the surroundings of the town, joined to create a community, which was under the jurisdiction of the Order of Calatrava.Alcañiz was the hometown of Joshua Lorki, a converted Jew who initiated the religious Disputation of Tortosa between Christian and Jewish scholars.
