Freineda, a small border village, welcomed Lord Wellington between late 1812 and the spring of 1813, during the Peninsular War. In a stone house next to the church, the general established his headquarters, while the rest of the general staff dispersed to neighboring villages. Although described at the time as poverty-stricken, the village became the scene of major military decisions.
Today, it remains modest and small, but keeps the memory of that time alive: on the facade of the house where Wellington lived, a plaque commemorates his visit.
