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 (graffiti). Among all of them here it is possible to distinguish a plow. The representation of a plow is probably related to the fact that in the 18th century in this area most of the workers were farmers.
