CABRA, a town of southern Spain, in the province of Cor dova, 28m. S.E. of Cordova, on the Jaen-Malaga railway. It is built on the river Cabra in the fertile valley between the Sierra de Cabra and the Sierra de Montilla. Pop. (1930) 14,308. Cabra has a ruined Moorish castle and a parish church which was origi nally a mosque, and later a cathedral, when for several centuries Cabra was an episcopal see. There are marble quarries near the town, which makes bricks and pottery, coarse cloth and felt, and is the market for local grain, wine, olive oil and fruit. Cabra (Roman Baebro or Aegabro) was delivered from the Moors by Ferdinand III. of Castile in 1244 and entrusted to the Order of Calatrava. Recaptured by the Muslims in 1331, it was finally reunited to Christian Spain a century later.
