A Look at Its History
How Old is Moraleja?
Moraleja de Enmedio has been around for a very long time, since at least the 12th century. We know this because it was mentioned in old documents from that time. These documents talked about land arguments involving the city of Segovia. The name "Enmedio" means "in the middle." This name came about because the town was located between two older, now deserted, places called Moraleja La Mayor and Moraleja de Los Buyeros.
For many years, Moraleja de Enmedio was part of different provinces, first Segovia and then Toledo. But in 1757, it officially became part of the province of Madrid, where it remains today.
