Calahorra

Town in the autonomous community of La Rioja, northern Spain; population (1991) 18,600. Products include wine, olive oil, and cattle. Its ancient Roman name was Calagurris. From 76-72 BC the town was successfully defended against Pompey by Quintus Sertorius at the head of a rising against Rome by the indigenous Celto-Iberians and Roman exiles.

The Roman rhetorician Quintilian was born here.
