<h2 id="history">History</h2>
<p>Likely of <a href="/facts/Carthage/MXGPRNFA">Carthaginian</a> origin, the settlement was incorporated into the <a href="/facts/Knights_Templar/1IEETuMg">Castellote</a> commandery by the <a href="/facts/Knights_Templar/1IEETuMg">Knights Templar</a> in the late 12th century (around 1196). It was granted a Charter of Settlement in 1282.  
</p><p>In 1212, a shepherd is said to have discovered an image of the Virgin Mary hidden within a holm oak. A hermitage was built on the site, and by around 1306, the Templars decided to construct a larger church to accommodate the growing devotion to the Virgin of the Holm Oak [es]. Over time, the town of Bordón developed around the church.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:1" href="#fn:1"><sup>1</sup></a>
