Abla is amunicipality, former bishopric and Latin Catholictitular see inAlmería province, inAndalusia, southeastSpain.

History

[edit]

It is considered to be theAbula mentioned byPtolemy in hisGeographia (II 6, 60) as located in the Iberian region ofBastetania.^[2]^[3]

Another candidate for identification with ancient Abula isÁvila, which may instead have been the ancientObila.^[4]

Ecclesiastical history

[edit]

Abula is said to be one of the first cities inHispania that wereChristianized, specifically bySaint Secundus, one of the group ofSeven Apostolic Men (siete varones apostólicos), Christian clerics ordained inRome by SaintsPeter andPaul and sent to evangelize Spain.^[2]^[4]

Little is known of a second bishop of Abula, called Iulius, possibly his successor, living around 100 AD. No other incumbents were recorded.

[edit]

No longer a residential see, Abula is today listed by theCatholic Church as a Latintitular bishopric since the diocese was nominally restored in 1969.^[3]
