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.
