The Cross of Mengíbar – 16 VII 1808

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Cruz de Mengíbar was created by order of King Fernando VII of Spain on April 18, 1816, to honour the participants to the July 16, 1808 victorious Acción de Mengíbar, commanded by General Theodor von Reding (<► File:Teodoro_Reding.JPG).

The importance of this victory over the napoléonic régime invading troops has long been dwarfed by the more resounding Victory of Bailén three days later, on July 19, 1808 – a date of historical importance (<► File:Bailén, Monument to the Victory of 1808.JPG)
Justice has now been done by the creation of the exhibition dedicated to the battle, inaugurated on October 25, 2014 (<► File:Mengíbar – Acción de Mengíbar – 16 VII 1808.jpg).

Shown here : a replica of the Cruz de Mengíbar, exhibited in the Espacio Expositivo Sala Acción de Mengíbar 1808 ; see address below.

The Cruz de Mengíbar also figures on the Coat of Arms (escudo) of the City of Mengíbar.
