Coria is a municipality in the province of Cáceres in the Autonomous Community of Extremadura, it is located in the center of the plain known as Vega del Alagón. It was founded before the arrival of the Romans, who knew it as Caurium, the Latin name for Caura. During the Visigothic era, the Diocese of Coria was created, which lasted until the 20th century, and later it was unfolded to share it with Cáceres. After the reconquest, it became the capital of a manor to which towns that still bear the name of Coria, such as Guijo de Coria or Casillas de Coria, belonged.
