On April 23, 1521, the so-called Battle of Villalar was fought on the outskirts of this town. It put an end to the War of the Communities of Castile, which pitted King Charles V against the Comuneros, peasants, nobles, ecclesiastics and bourgeois who had rebelled against the excessive tax pressure imposed by the monarch and the scant participation of Castile in imperial politics. In this battle, the comuneros Padilla, Bravo and Maldonado were captured and executed the following day. The monolith commemorates them.
