Velilla. A small town on the Ebro below Saragossa, so-called from the alarm bell of its church, San Nicolas, which was said to toll of its own accord whenever a great calamity was to befall Aragon. It was cast by the Goths who, according to tradition, threw into the fused metal one of the thirty pieces of silver received by Judas.
