Aceca is a population entity in the municipality of Villaseca de la Sagra, located in the province of Toledo, within the autonomous community of Castile-La Mancha, Spain. The name Aceca derives from the Arabic: السِّكَّة as-Sikka, meaning "the road". The locality is mentioned as as-Sikka in Mozarabic documents from Toledo, where it was referred to as a ford crossing the Tagus River. Aceca is later mentioned as an old village within the jurisdiction of Villaseca de la Sagra. It included a house, an oratory, and the remains of a former palace (see Casa Real de Aceca). By the mid-19th century, it was already described as uninhabited a despoblado. The Diccionario geográfico-estadístico-histórico de España y sus posesiones de Ultramar by Pascual Madoz provides the following description: ACECA: uninhabited place in the province of Toledo (5 leagues), judicial district of Illescas (4), under the jurisdiction of Villaseca de la Sagra (1/4): includes what is called "the meadows, woods, and island", and belongs to the royal estate. Located southeast of Villaseca, it borders to the north with that town’s territory and the Veguillas de Alejarejos, to the east with the Gusdaten stream, to the south with the Tagus River, and to the west with Cuartillejo (now Velina or Sta. Coloma); it covers 3/4 league from north to south, 1/2 league east to west, with a circumference of 2 1/2 leagues, and encompasses 2,422 fanegas. The area known as "the meadows" is cultivated with cereals, the "island" and "woodland" are used for grazing, and there is an orchard of 8 to 10 fanegas for vegetables and fruit.
