The 18th century jail of Villarrubia de los Ojos, built on the ground floor of the old City Hall building, is located in the center of the town of Villarrubia de los Ojos (Ciudad Real, Spain). As in other jails of the same period, the walls of some cells contain engravings. Among all of them here it is possible to distinguish a cruciform graffiti. This section of the jail currently belongs to the Círculo de la Unión Recreational Association, and we would like to thank this organization for its collaboration in this project.
