History of Chipiona
Chipiona is a coastal town in the province of Cadiz. With a population of around 20,000 inhabitants. But it is multiplying every summer.
Its origin is a lighthouse that existed in ancient times at the mouth of the Guadalquivir River. Which was called Turris caepionis or Caepionis monumentum. Traditionally the name of this lighthouse has been the origin of the name of Chipiona.
This area is also identified with the area where the legendary Ars Gerionis stood, which was the tomb of Gerion.
The disciples of Saint Augustine, fleeing from the vandals in North Africa, arrived in Chipiona with the image of the Virgin of Regla.
After the arrival of the Arabs in 711, the hermits hid the image in a cistern. That is why the image remained there until the 14th century, thanks to a revelation from heaven. And that is why the Humilladero de la Virgen de Regla was built on top of the cistern.
In 1251 the Christians reconquered Chipiona and definitively in 1264. In 1297, King Fernando IV granted Guzmán el Bueno, founder of the House of Medina Sidonia, the Señorío de Sanlúcar, of which Chipiona was a part.
In 1755 Chipiona suffered a tidal wave that caused the Lisbon Earthquake on the Andalusian and Portuguese Atlantic coast. In the event four people died and it also suffered a flood.
Since then, the image of the Christ of Mercy has been taken out in procession to ask for the withdrawal of the waters. On All Saints’ Day from the chapel that bears the name of the Christ to the Cross of the Sea.
